The recently-opened Lufthansa First Class Lounge in Munich’s Satellite Terminal 2 is top-notch.
It’s not that the design style is different than the old one. Rather, it is a testament to Lufthansa’s enduring quality as a top-tier carrier.

If you are used to the First Class Terminal or First Class Lounges in Frankfurt, this lounge will look familiar. Look for open seating and muted color tones. Look for a buffet and a la carte menu. Finally, look for a high level of personalized service.
The one unique element about this lounge that stood out to me was the beautiful patio overlooking the apron below.
I did not notice any ashtrays on the patio, but if you’re a smoker, there is still an indoor smoking room as well (Lufthansa no longer provides complimentary cigars).
During my two-hour stay in the lounge, I enjoyed a light lunch of filet mignon and mixed green salad:
It was exceptional as usual…I recommend the filet even for breakfast. The coffee (cappuccino) was also excellent:
This Lufthansa First Class Lounge Munich is in the Schengen zone (Satellite Terminal 2), but if you are departing on an intercontinental flight the lounge has a dedicated passport control booth and car service to your longhaul flight.
I’ll provide a full review next week.
You can smoke inside but not outside? Odd. Still, it’s certainly pretty enough.
I believe you can smoke outside as well, since I’ve seen ashtrays out there in other lounge reviews.
That said, I’d prefer smoking in an indoor designated area than the only outdoor area of the lounge…
Is there lamb on the a la carte menu? Asking for my emotional support kiddy.
For the sake of Reagan Mrs. Sarrey, Kiddy only likes meat from Costco!
Car transfers? I was there in Jan and my MUC-SFO flight was at the very end of T2 and no car transfer was offered. I was advised to leave time for the walk. The lounge itself is nice, if not a bit small. It seemed like it could get crowded easily. Although it never had more than 7-8 ppl during my stay.
I wish Lufthansa would put greater emphasis on the Munich hub and less on Frankfurt. Munich is such a much nicer airport (to say nothing of the great merit of its city). The smoking though at German airports really is retrograde, and I think Germany and Japan stand alone in the industrialized world as places where the odor of stale smoke regularly permeates indoor spaces (and airports in particular). Not a good look in my opinion.
