When you fly business class with Lufthansa, you’ll experience VIP treatment at a Lufthansa lounge or one of its many Star Alliance member lounges. Starting with priority check-in, you’ll wait in a comfortable lounge loaded with amenities. Depending on location, you may be able to get a spa treatment, enjoy a cigar in the cigar lounge, or take a private shower before your trip.

Each lounge location has its own unique flair and amenities, but you’ll find a light meal and beverages, WiFi and office space and equipment, comfy chairs, reading materials, and entertainment options in any lounge.

Lufthansa Lounge Access & Admission

Lufthansa lounges are all about comfort and relaxation. Find the quiet area and recline with a glass of wine and the local news, or join other business class flyers in the cigar lounge for a soothing stogie.
