Hello, I will be taking SQ from JFK to Singapore in the next couple of days. There will be a layover of around 2 hours at Frankfurt. Does anyone have any update on the best Star Gold lounge to visit during the layover? Thanks.

Assuming you are *G and since SQ departs from a B gate, what you have read in this thread is still correct. You have a choice between the LH SEN lounge (next to gate B43) and the MLL above gate B42.

Thanks. On the return flight to NY, does SQ also leave from the B gate? If yes, I will try the AC lounge. How is the food like compared to the LH lounge?

Hi guys, I'm arriving at FRA from SZX and then I would need to connect with a LH flight to FCO (terminal 1 gate A Shengen area). I will have almost 4 hours layover. I never used the AC lounge and I would like to try it. I was wondering how long would take from AC lounge to gate A after the visit.
I'm also curious to know if any of you guys has gained access to more than one lounge in the same day. I was wondering if, after the AC lounge, I could move to the Senator Lounge in the Shengen area so I would stay closer to my gate in the Shengen area. Could I still have access although I would already visited the AC lounge?
Thanks for your tips.

How long it'll take from the AC MLL to your departure gate will depend on the location of the latter, but I'd generally say 15-25min incl. immigration.

Can I bring a guest for all of them, right ?
Cheers.

And of course there's no need to rub the agent's nose into the fact you're lounge-hopping.

Your best options would likely be the LH SEN lounge near gate B42 and the AC MLL. Both are very good. They are <50m away from each other, so you can check out both if you want to.

I've checked the flight from SZX always arrives at gate C13/14A T1 and the second flight leaves pretty always from T1 gate A1-13 (at least during the last days). I will have 3 hours and a half layover.
How far is AC MALL lounge from gate C?
Then I would move to the senator lounge T1 gate A13 (one of those near my next flight gate), should I go through passport control or security check, does it take long time?
Thanks

I'd personally recommend heading straight to the A concourse and visit the closest LH SEN lounge there (the various SEN lounges at FRA are pretty much identical nowadays IMHO).
