Hello. I tried to search for answer here, but I had no luck (probably I don't know how to search here :-)

I have a flight from Europe to US and the first leg should give me FTL status. Will I have FTL perks on the way back already, or I need to finish the whole itinerary first? Will I get my 25% bonus?

You will get the 25% bonus for the return flight. Lounge access might be a different thing depending on availability of a LH lounge there. Print a copy of your online statement and just look how far it takes you.

The lounge dragons of LH are pretty strict and often demand to see the card that says Star Gold..... Your mileage may vary.. .Good Luck!

Again, not sure if this will work for a lounge that does not belong to your airline. Good luck

As others have said you should get your 25% bonus for the return flight.

Although you are not asking about lounge access, this should also be possible if there's an LH business lounge at the departure airport, but as you probably know FTL (*S) does not have access to *G lounges.
