To the point During a connection at Munich Franz Josef Strauss Airport (MUC), I was able to try the Lufthansa Business Class Lounge located in Terminal 2. This lounge is temporarily accessible to Platinum American Express cardholders!

A lounge temporarily accessible with 2 American Express cards

The Lufthansa Business Class Lounge at Munich Airport (MUC) is accessible in 3 ways:

  • by traveling in business class
  • by having Star Alliance Gold status
  • by using one of the 2 American Express Platinum cards (until October 31, 2019)

For a limited time, Lufthansa decided to offer access to certain airport lounges to holders of The Platinum Card® from American Express or The Business Platinum Card® from American Express:

  • Lufthansa Business Lounges (any travel class)
  • or Lufthansa Senator Lounges (when traveling in business class)

…at Munich (Terminal 2) and Frankfurt (Terminal 1B) airports.

Lufthansa and American Express have been offering this for over a year now… and keep extending the end of the “trial period.”

Currently, the trial is supposed to end on October 31, 2019.

The Global Lounge Collection from American Express

American Express has a network of airport lounges around the world, called the “Global Lounge Collection from American Express.”

This network provides access to over 1,200 airport lounges in more than 130 countries.

Our review of the Lufthansa Business Class Lounge – Munich MUC

I accessed this lounge on an Aeroplan award ticket in business class, upon arrival from my Lufthansa flight on an Airbus A350 from Montreal.

With my connection to Barcelona only 3 hours later, this lounge was perfect for working and relaxing.

Plus, in the morning, there were few people, as you’ll see in the photos!

Near the entrance, there are high tables, ideal for working with a computer.

This lounge is particularly bright, which is pleasant to catch up with jet lag after getting off an overnight flight between North America and Europe.

Conclusion

An excellent lounge in Terminal 2 of Munich Airport! I highly recommend it if you’re connecting through this airport.

Especially since you could access it even when traveling in economy class on Lufthansa… as long as you have The Platinum Card® from American Express in your pocket!
