Frankfurt Frankfurt Airport (FRA) — Business Class Guide

Frankfurt is Lufthansa's global hub and Germany's busiest airport, offering premium travelers the legendary First Class Terminal and an extensive network of Senator and business lounges.

Frankfurt Airport is the primary hub for Lufthansa and Europe’s third-busiest airport. For business class travelers, it offers an efficient transfer experience and access to Lufthansa’s renowned lounge portfolio, including the industry-leading First Class Terminal.

Terminal guide for business class

Terminal 1 handles Lufthansa, Star Alliance partners, and most legacy carriers. It’s divided into Concourse A (Schengen), B (non-Schengen), and Z (connecting flights). Lufthansa’s Senator Lounges are located in both A and B concourses.

Terminal 2 serves oneworld, SkyTeam, and non-aligned carriers. Emirates operates a dedicated lounge here. The SkyLink train connects Terminal 2 to Terminal 1.

Best business class lounges

The Lufthansa First Class Terminal is legendary—a standalone building with dedicated immigration, à la carte dining, spa services, and private Porsche/Mercedes transfers to your aircraft. It’s accessible only to Lufthansa First Class and HON Circle members.

Senator Lounges (T1 A and B) serve Star Alliance Gold members and Lufthansa business class passengers with hot buffets, à la carte dining in some locations, full bars, and cigar lounges in the A-gates. The Business Lounge provides comfortable seating, snacks, and bar service for business class passengers.

German efficiency

Frankfurt’s transfer process is generally efficient, though the terminal layout requires significant walking. Schengen-to-Schengen connections can be completed in 45 minutes; non-Schengen transfers need 75+ minutes due to immigration.

Why fly business class from Frankfurt

Lufthansa’s long-haul network covers all six continents from Frankfurt, with premium products ranging from the new Allegris business class to the established lie-flat seats. Singapore Airlines operates beyond-fifth-freedom flights to New York, offering an alternative premium experience.
