So, on that note the pay-in lounge (Priority Pass, just pay money, etc) at FRA T1 (LH/DE terminal) is landslide not airside.

It's an absolutely fine lounge for a shower and beer if nothing remotely special. The showers are 10 euros though. Enjoy paying for the shower, plebe (I've paid for it flying DE J, multiple times, because DE doesn't do arrival lounges).
I''d never pay the extra AS miles for Condor "premium" because they'll probably offer to sell it to you for $50-100 anyway.

I do think it's inappropriate for AS to sell DE "Premium" redemptions alongside actual W products without some sort of disclaimer. Maybe an asterisk or some such.

as my dad used to say, “It’s well known to those who know it well!”
having experienced Icelandair in Saga Class (marketed as “Business”; Sep 2023 SEA<>KEF), Condor in both PE (Jun 2023 SEA-FRA) and J (Jul 2023 FRA-SEA), and a trio of BA flights in W (Mar 2025 and Dec 2025 LHR-SEA, Nov 2025 PDX-LHR), I’ll say that the FI product is far more like W than what DE tries to pass off as W

I was in Lima earlier this month and thought, surely, now that they have a BRAND NEW AIRPORT they will no longer use buses.
Nope....

Every one of my flights through Qatar (in Q Suites) seems to include a free a bus tour of the airport.
It’s annoyance, but definitely also a first world problem.
Has it been confirmed that Condor going to move from T1 to T3? I think the plan is to shut down T2 and the T2 airlines are going to move to T3 first.

Pricing for east coast to FRA to BER has been fixed as far as I can tell, which is a good news.
I, as a titanium, flew PE JFKFRA with no lounge access with AS JFK lounge closed.
Their PE product is an absolute garbage. Two, three inches of more legroom but that's about it. It's equivalent to AA's MCE on their widebody. You are literally better off with AA+BA main cabin as an Emerald imo.
