Review : Lufthansa First Class Lounge, Munich (MUC) Satellite

After a long flight in First on Lufthansa, the day’s adventures are not over as we still have two more flights in Business and two First lounges to visit in Munich and Frankfurt.

Munich has two First Lufthansa lounges: one in the main boarding concourse. The latter is unfortunately blind.

The second is located in the boarding satellite and it is this one that we will visit today.

Terminal

As we are arriving from an intercontinental flight, we first go through the screening station dedicated to connections. As our flight also arrived at the satellite, the security passed in a few seconds, and the entrance to the First lounge is just behind.

Just after the security check, onwards to the First lounge
The path to the lounge is not very inviting

Reception

Before arriving at the actual reception, we have to go through an immigration control which is located at the entrance of the lounge.

The lounge is also available from the Schengen area

We are then taken care of by the two flight attendants of the lounge who welcome us. They also tell us that we can access the First lounge located in the main terminal, which is the departure location of our flight.

The press is of course available at the entrance of the lounge

We then head to the lounge’s rest areas.

Lounge design

The lounge is organized in an “L” shape from the reception.

The view from the lounge on the tarmac is exceptional

Right next to the reception is a beautiful outdoor terrace equipped with large armchairs and coffee tables. The terrace is smoking and we will enjoy a very good cigar.

The very spacious terrace, very pleasant before the storm

The “L” begins with a large resting area organized in “squares” of armchairs around large low tables on which are arranged a large number of quality sweets and chocolates.

Very comfortable rest areas
Other rest areas face the runways

From this area, the sanitary facilities are accessible and are very spacious. Access to the showers can of course be done without waiting. Small offices are also available on the other side of the “L”.

Offices allowing some privacy to facilitate work

At the back is the seated dining area as well as the buffet, and the bar which offers cocktails, wines and spirits.

Dinner in front of the runways, what a pleasure!
The tables are set for dinner
The bar is located at the back of the lounge

Service is obviously available throughout the lounge, and waiters come by regularly to take our orders and clear our drinks.

The German bread tradition is respected
Who wants Bellota?
The salads at the buffet are fresh and appetizing
The cold starters are also appetizing, especially the vitello tonnato
Sushis are the least appealing thing
Monk’s head is a cheese that is rarely found in lounges
Great gratins dauphinois
A very nice chicken in sauce
The desserts are very colorful
In addition to the bar, 6 choices of excellent red wines are available for self-service

A Cigar Lounge is also available, in addition to the outdoor terrace.

Catering

The food and beverage offer in the lounge is excellent, and very similar to that of the First Class Terminal in Frankfurt.

We take advantage of this offer in a limited way, as we just had breakfast and lunch in flight. We nibbled while sipping the excellent Laurent Perrier La Grande Dame served in the lounge.

The buffet offers cold dishes, hot dishes and desserts.

The a la carte menu is similar to that of the First Class Terminai

Lounge facilities

The lounge is equipped with showers immediately available to passengers.

It also offers a limousine transfer service for remote boardings.

Limousine service is also available on request

Bottom line

What is striking about Lufthansa is the consistency in design and service that we experienced in the Business and Senator lounges. The same goes for the First lounges that we love!
