Lufthansa Reopens Frankfurt Business Lounge

Lufthansa has just reopened the Lufthansa Business Lounge in Departure Area B at Frankfurt Airport after extensive renovation.

Newly reopened right on time as the holiday season gets underway, the lounge will spring a surprise on passengers at the Terminal in the shape of a very special innovation: On an area of close to 1,400 square meters, the lounge offers a first-ever “Jet Friends” lounge for children alongside the customary comfort, bistro and work areas.

Besides a spacious comfort area equipped with leather armchairs and TVs, the bistro in the completely refurbished lounge serves hot and cold drinks, snacks, fruit and meals in a menu that varies with the time of day. In a separate rest room, guests can unwind and relax in peace and quiet or get some work finished in preparation for a business appointment at their destination. They can also freshen up in one of the five shower rooms in the bathroom area.

A kids’ corner and playpen will keep the very young quietly occupied, while drawing tables, bean bags, a PC with Internet access and game consoles are available for the older children. For their entertainment, the lounge also has a children’s cinema with comfortable leather benches.

To celebrate the opening of the new “JetFriends” children’s lounge, Lufthansa has organized a painting competition (My best travel experience) for children to draw and paint their “journey of a lifetime.” The contest runs through Aug. 17; prizes include an upmarket luggage set, consisting of a suitcase and rucksack, or a Nintendo DS. Entry forms and coloring sheets can be picked up in the lounge or downloaded from www.lufthansa.com/malwettbewerb.
