Lounge Review: Lufthansa First Class Terminal Frankfurt
Our review of the Lufthansa FIRST class Terminal in Frankfurt in 2024.
Access and Location
First Class passengers flying with Lufthansa or SWISS, as well as Miles & More HON Circle members traveling on any class with these airlines, can access the Lufthansa First Class Terminal.
This terminal is a separate building at Frankfurt Airport, not connected to the other terminals.
When you enter the terminal, a personal assistant will greet you, take your passport, and handle all necessary formalities for your flight.
If you’re starting your journey in Frankfurt, you can go directly to the First Class Terminal. Here, you can check in your luggage, pass through security quickly, and enjoy the lounge.
For transit passengers, the process is a bit different. You’ll need to leave the airside area and, if necessary, go through immigration. To reach the terminal, you’ll walk outside from the main terminal, heading left. The walk takes about five minutes, passing through parking lots and taxi areas, which isn’t very scenic. Once you arrive, you’ll see the First Class Terminal on your left, ready to welcome you.
Seating options
The Lufthansa First Class Terminal offers a wide range of seating options to suit your comfort and preferences. You can relax on cozy sofas, unwind in ergonomic lounge chairs, dine at set tables in the restaurant, work at designated pods, or enjoy a drink at the bar in the center of the lounge.
The seating throughout the terminal is arranged to provide privacy, ensuring a peaceful and comfortable experience. Wherever you choose to sit, you’ll have plenty of personal space to relax and enjoy your time before your flight.
Food and Drinks
The food and drink selection at Lufthansa’s First Class Terminal is truly exceptional.
Starting with drinks, the bar boasts an impressive collection of spirits, including an extensive range of whiskies. The skilled bartenders can craft virtually any cocktail you desire. Additionally, there’s a fine selection of premium wines and champagne, alongside a variety of non-alcoholic beverages to suit every taste.
When it comes to food, the lounge offers options to match every preference and dining style. Small snacks are conveniently available throughout the lounge for those who prefer a quick bite. For a heartier option, the buffet features a diverse range of high-quality dishes, making it an excellent choice for a substantial meal.
The standout, however, is the in-terminal restaurant. Here, guests can enjoy a comfortable, sit-down dining experience with freshly prepared, made-to-order dishes. Paired with a selection of beverages, the restaurant elevates the dining experience to a whole new level.
Other services
The lounge offers a range of additional amenities designed to make your stay as comfortable and convenient as possible.
One of the most popular features is the availability of clean, well-maintained showers, with some even offering bathtubs for added relaxation.
For those needing rest, the lounge provides small “hotel rooms” that can be reserved free of charge. These private spaces are perfect for a nap or simply unwinding in peace, giving you a chance to recharge before your next flight.
A standout feature is the dedicated smoking lounge, also known as the “cigar lounge.” This exclusive area is designed for guests who wish to enjoy complimentary cigars. It also includes a small drinks corner where you can savor a selection of beverages, making it a unique and relaxing experience.
The children’s play area is a standout feature of the lounge, thoughtfully designed for families traveling with young children. It is stocked with a variety of toys and activities to keep little ones happily entertained. For added convenience, the lounge also provides a small cot where infants or toddlers can nap if needed, ensuring comfort for both parents and children.
When it’s time for your flight, the service becomes even more seamless and personalized. Your dedicated personal assistant will notify you in advance, usually giving you about 10 minutes to prepare. You will then be escorted downstairs to a private immigration desk, where formalities are completed quickly and efficiently. Afterward, a personal chauffeur will drive you directly to your aircraft, ensuring a smooth and luxurious transition from the lounge to your flight.
