And not clearly connected to the terminal. Did I say the decor is dark? Taking a bath in a public place? ever heard of interstitial cistitis? Difficult to treat! Food is amazing, better than on the airplanes. Car, that is great if you get the car, otherwise you get the van. Building is ugly, like any other office space.

Just feels wrong taking one in the middle of the day, even for a free duck .... Food is outstanding, though. I have a quality FRA ZRH BOS in July which lets me do the LH and LX First Class lounges back to back! Never got the whole bath thing in the FCT!

Not to nit-pic but that is a 747-400, not -800. The -800 have scalloped trailing edges on the engine nacelles. And that plane in your pic is dirty. Not a chance the new planes are that mucked up yet.

Was mighty impressed with Lufthansa for that one. What I wasn't impressed with was how far away from anything the plane was parked. We taxied for a good 20 minutes, parked out in the hinterland and then rode the bus for 10 minutes!
