While transiting through Frankfurt on Lufthansa flights outside the Schengen zone, we found ourselves stuck in the Z concourse.<\/p>\n<p>With no lounges available on that side and passport control and security being time-consuming, I had tried to pre-purchase access, but there was no option to do so.<\/p>\n<p>Arriving at the terminal with a premium economy ticket, I decided to ask if we could buy lounge access on the spot. After a few minutes of discussion among the lounge attendants and a supervisor, they confirmed we could purchase entry for a discounted rate of \u20ac25 per person.<\/p>\n<p>So, if you\u2019re transiting Frankfurt and haven\u2019t booked lounge access, it\u2019s worth asking at the door \u2014 though your experience may vary.<\/p>\n<h2><span id=\"Final_Thoughts\">Final Thoughts<\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The option to purchase Lufthansa Lounge access to escape the crowds and relax in a business-class lounge is always welcome, even if you have to pay for it. More often than not, if you plan to eat and grab a couple of drinks per person, the cost of lounge access can actually be cheaper than airport restaurants and bars.<\/p>\n<p>In addition to food and drinks, Lufthansa Lounges offer extra perks like quiet spaces, work areas, showers, and more.<\/p>\n<p>Of course, the best option is to get complimentary lounge access through elite status or a premium credit card. But if that's not an option, purchasing access to multiple Lufthansa Lounge locations is still a worthwhile alternative.<\/p>\n<p><b>\t\t<div class=\"wp-faq-schema-wrap wp-faq-schema-accordion\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h2><span id=\"Purchase_Lufthansa_Lounge_Access_FAQ\">Purchase Lufthansa Lounge Access FAQ<\/span><\/h2>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"wp-faq-schema-items\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h3><span id=\"How_to_buy_a_Lufthansa_lounge_day_pass\">How to buy a Lufthansa lounge day pass?<\/span><\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>To purchase a pass, you must pre-book your access online ahead of time.
