Review: Lufthansa 747-8 First Class New York – Frankfurt
Lufthansa First Class never fails to impress.

Review: Lufthansa First Class Lounge New York (JFK)
How does the only outstation Lufthansa First Class lounge compare to the “real thing” in Frankfurt and Munich? Honestly, it’s not a bad understudy.

After landing in Frankfurt on LH457 and clearing passport control, my first stop was the first class lounge near gate A13.

Review: Lufthansa First Class Lounge & Spa – Frankfurt (B Gates)
During my last trip on Lufthansa, I skipped the First Class Terminal to check out the First Class Lounge in the B Gates of Terminal 1.

Review: Lufthansa First Class Lounge Munich (MUC)
Lufthansa’s First Class Lounge in Munich has one advantage over its counterpart in Frankfurt. That’s a beautiful outdoor terrace that serves as a tranquil place to relax before your flight. Other than that, though, it is just like the First Class Terminal and Lounges in Frankfurt. And that’s a very good thing. There are two […]
Review: Lufthansa A380 First Class Los Angeles to Munich

But I’ll say at the outset that Lufthansa First Class never disappoints. Always Say YES To An […]
