Thanks Chris, and what I also mean is the condition:
(the trip originates in the UK in J, continues in F from FRA, the ticket is charged online in £)
- Applicable for passengers (...) holding a ticket that has been issued in the UK.

Exactly. When I am on the continent and try to book a ticket ex UK on lh.com, it automatically says something like "we have redirected you to our ticket shop in the UK" and gives the price in GBP.

Yes, that’s how it should work but currently even booking tickets Ex UK it forces everything in German

Hello there
I will be flying HKG-FRA-MUC-ARN-ZRH, with the ARN-ZRH on a different ticket than the F ticket which is HKG-FRA-MUC-ARN.
All I know about access to the Swiss F Class lounge so far tells my I won't have access to it on arrival from the ARN-ZRH leg, but I still wanted to ask if this as maybe changed in the meantime and a same day arriving F Class ticket into FRA suffices to be granted access.
Cheers!

Normally if you show the F boarding pass from arriving in FRA the ZRH FCL wardens try to make your access happen. I've done it, but was flying XXX-FRA-ZRH-MUC that day so they had a BP for the next flight to work with.

With arriving Boarding passes in F on LX it is not a problem at all, and LH F aren't a problem as well if your route through ZRH on the same ticket as I think your XXX-FRA-ZRH-MUC booking was? And since mine ARN-ZRH leg is ona different ticket I think that might pose a problem. But then again, I'm not sure and essentially the website states that a same day LX/LH departing/arriving boarding pass suffices.

For me, it has worked even if on two ticket, but this was ~3 years ago. Routing was SIN-ZRH-AMS-ZRH-GVA, where the AMS-ZRH-GVA was on a cheap P class ticket. So two times ZRH FCL. Was even driven to my ZRH-GVA flight which was departing from a remote stand. But I guess it all depends on the FCL wardens.

Arrival day is much simpler and a different story than departure, and FCLs are different from FCT. By the book, your arriving long-haul flight on LH F gives you access to LH (Group) FCLs for the rest of the day.
I have done it on LH myself and it worked without a problem. LX should be the same, but sometimes they have mysterious ways there.

Hi everyone,
If I am leaving from Zurich at noon 12:10 (domestic flight)
Does anyone know if I will still be able to have the 5 course set "Wine & Dine" Menu or is that menu not available in the morning?
Also does anyone know if there are still two 5 course menus offered? ("Wine & Dine" and "Swiss" Menu)?
Thank you very much in advance!

Hi LX experts... Am contemplating on switching up a reward ticket, so here's my question:
If my itinerary is ZRH-FRA-JFK where my ZRH-FRA is either in LH or LX reward Y or C, and FRA-JFK is in reward F same day (17:00). Will i get access to the LX First class (and basically all of the) lounges in ZRH?
Thanks in advance!
