Is it worth visiting the LuxxLounge in Terminal 1 of Frankfurt Airport?
The LuxxLounge is located in the gallery area of Terminal 1 between areas B and C. The LuxxLounge is located in the gallery area of Terminal 1 between areas B and C. Holders of a Priority Pass can also visit the lounge*.
This is particularly interesting as only this lounge can be used due to the limited space in Terminal 1 of Frankfurt Airport. The lounges in the departure area are only available to members of the frequent flyer programs. So, is it worth visiting the LuxxLounge in Terminal 1 of Frankfurt Airport?
The Lounge
If you trust the marketing promises, you can expect a stylish ambience in the LuxxLounge at Frankfurt Airport, regardless of the airline you have booked.
The LuxxLounge is intended to offer guests a feel-good service with a pleasant, quiet atmosphere, snacks and drinks, international daily newspapers and magazines, international television, and a free PC with Internet access. The lounge will also feature comfortable sanitary facilities with shower facilities.
So far, the statements on the LuxxLounge / Frankfurt Airport homepages are different.
Once you have passed the locked door of the entrance area, you will find three large rooms connected to sanitary facilities by a corridor. All rooms are de facto windowless as the windows do not have daylight. The furnishings should reflect a club atmosphere but do not look very comfortable.
Although there were several employees, the tables were not cleared, and the furniture was dirty. This was not inviting.
Food and drinks
The next disappointment for the guest. The food on offer is limited to Frankfurter sausages, sausage, and cheese cold cuts. Everything seems loveless and of low quality.
Anyone visiting Priority Pass lounges in Asia knows what I’m talking about. Only the selection of drinks is convincing. Soft drinks, beer, and spirits are available in sufficient numbers.
Other
A small business area and newspapers are also available. The sanitary facilities are ok.
LuxxLounge Conclusion
The LuxxLounge belongs to the category of “negative experiences”. It looks dark, old-fashioned, and not very inviting. The buffet meets the minimum requirements at best. Neither for holders of a Priority Pass* nor for day guests is it worth the 30 euros that must be paid for a visit. As the lounge is located before the check-in area, the corresponding waiting times must also be considered for the visit.
Frequent flyers or American Express Platinum Card holders* have much better alternatives than the Lufthansa Lounges in Terminal 1.
