as the lounge at DEL is not a StarGold and not an RCC, but only a contracted lounge, the rules to bring in a partner doesn't apply (if you fly in eco).

So how do I get my spouse into the DEL lounge since she is not a *G member???? Simply ask the LH agent at check-in or....??

Yes, with a contract lounge you sometimes get a voucher (e.g. at CAI) that you hand over. At CAI you probably would not get a voucher even if you are *G.

I am a 1K and was turned away from the RCC last August when traveling on an LH ticket. I think only non-UA Star Golds can use the lounge under these circumstances. If you're flying on a UA ticket, however, being a 1P is enough to get you into the lounge.

If I am wrong about this, bring something in writing from the website to show to the person at the RCC entrance. To be forewarned is to be forearmed.

Continental Airlines and bankruptcy: The third time will be the charm!

Any idea whether this lounge could be used by someone arriving from FRA (via LH) so that someone could wait a few hours there for someone else coming in on a different flight/airline?

Is the lounge before security?

What are the hours of operation?

Or, any suggestions for a nearby hotel for one to wait a few hours?

TIA...

OttoGraham, I take it you were allowed into the LH or equivalent lounge?

Since you are flying LH, I would defiantely recommend the LH business lounges over the RCC in FRA.

To get to the RCC in FRA from the LH gates, it is quite a walk and you have to go through a couple extra rounds of security screening. Not worth it at all.

The drinks/snacks/entertainment are all superior at the LH business lounge. The senator lounges can be a bit more crowded, but have better beer.
