Lufthansa Terminal 2 and Senator lounges
Terminal 2 is Lufthansa and Star Alliance's home — Senator lounges offer buffet dining, shower suites, and quiet work zones. The satellite concourse adds gates for widebody departures via underground train.
First class passengers on Lufthansa First may use the separate First Class Lounge with à la carte dining — not the standalone FCT like Frankfurt.
