Lufthansa Reopens Newly Designed First Class Lounge at Munich Airport
Spanning
approximately 1,000 square meters, the revamped lounge features a sophisticated
new gastronomic concept. Guests can enjoy à la carte dining, a front-cooking
buffet, and a redesigned bar that reflects the highest standards of
exclusivity.
The
lounge also includes quiet relaxation areas, luxurious washrooms, well-equipped
workspaces with printers and copiers, and a wide array of entertainment options
– including TV zones and an extensive selection of newspapers and magazines. It
is now open daily from 05:00 to 22:00.
This
reopening is part of Lufthansa’s broader premium initiative. Enhancements also
include a redesigned First Class check-in area in Munich and the rollout of the
new Lufthansa Allegris First Class on the Airbus A350-900. The new
configuration offers two private suites and the exceptional Suite Plus and will
serve long-haul destinations such as Chicago, San Francisco, San Diego,
Shanghai, and Bengaluru during the summer schedule.
With
these upgrades, Lufthansa continues to redefine premium air travel from its
Munich hub.
