One of the world's best lounge experiences — LH First / HON Circle only, separate building, Porsche transfer.

About this lounge

The Lufthansa First Class Terminal at Frankfurt is one of the world's best airline lounge experiences. A separate, purpose-built building located outside the main terminals — eligible passengers don't enter T1 at all. Reserved exclusively for Lufthansa First Class passengers (paid First Class ticket) and HON Circle members (LH's invitation-only top loyalty tier, requires ~600,000 status miles over 2 years). Personal Assistants meet you at curbside, handle private check-in, escort through dedicated security/immigration. The lounge features à-la-carte fine dining (the FCT's restaurant rivals proper Michelin-recommended cuisine), a cigar lounge, bathtubs (yes, full bathtubs with Etro toiletries), day suites, a wide whisky/spirits library, Champagne (typically Pommery + others). When your flight is ready, you're transferred to the aircraft by personal Porsche or Mercedes vehicle — a 2-minute ride across the apron. Truly one-of-a-kind.

Insider tips

Make the most of it.

01

Cannot be applied for or purchased — LH First ticket OR HON Circle invitation only.

02

Star Alliance Gold (even First-equivalent) does NOT grant FCT access — use Senator Lounges instead.

03

Allow extra time on arrival — the Personal Assistant experience starts curbside, not at security.

04

Bathtubs are genuinely full-size — request the bathing suite for a soak before a long-haul.

05

Porsche/Mercedes transfer is per-passenger — your personal vehicle to the aircraft.

FAQ

Quick answers.
