Seems like this place went from good to bad since my last visit back in May. I came Oct 5 and the servers are clueless on everything. Couldn’t even make a martini. Why be at the bar if you even make that? Even worse most of them couldn’t even tell me the wines they offered without having to look at them for a few seconds. I don’t know what happened in the last few months since I last came but hopefully Lufthansa takes note. Such a disappointment!

Although among one of the high quality lounges I have been, the reception is as dull and cold can be. Today, she had my boarding pass and handed back to me. Not a single greeting or welcome at all! This is rude, someone needs to tell.
