Lufthansa expands lounge offering at Frankfurt Airport

Passengers with lounge access can now look forward to having an even more relaxed lounge stay before their departure in the Terminal 1A Schengen area at Frankfurt Airport. Today, Lufthansa is opening the Panorama Lounge operated by Lufthansa as response to the high demand for the two existing Business lounges in this area, caused by the increase in passenger numbers. As a result of the recently available leasing space opposite Gate A26, an additional 1,100 square meters are now available for Lufthansa Business Lounge guests. This will increase the number of seats available in this area by 40 percent. Dr. Andreas Otto, Lufthansa Group Product Manager for Premium Airlines and Chief Commercial Officer Austrian Airlines said: "I am delighted that by renting the Panorama Lounge we can once again offer our lounge guests the service they have come to expect from us. In addition, we have planned several further renovation and expansion measures in the lounge area at our Frankfurt hub, which will further im­prove the lounge experience for our guests". The highlight of the Panorama Lounge is the breath taking view of the Frankfurt Airport apron, in which rolling aircraft are almost within reach. The lounge, which initially differs from the usual Lufthansa design, has a spacious main area with many seating options as well as a food and beverage buffet. It also offers several smaller rooms for working or relaxing, a smoking area, additional buffets and a relaxation room. The high quality sanitary area is well equipped and has four showers.The Panorama Lounge is open from Mondays to Fridays between 6 a.m. and 9 p.m.
