Review: Japan Airlines Sakura Lounge Frankfurt

Agree. It's a nice little lounge, certainly nothing to get excited about.

There is also the Cathay Business lounge that is available to OneWorld elites, located on the E gate side. I flew Malaysian Airlines out of Frankfurt a few weeks back and this was the lounge I was instructed to use.

The JAL lounge sticks in my mind only because of the restrooms, which are outfitted with Japanese-style toilets. Obviously I am an unsophisticated creature but I still can't get over a piece of plumbing that requires a full page of instructions (posted in three languages, thank goodness).

We're going to Europe in June First class via British Airways. We will be going on to CDG that same day. Can we use the first class lounge even though we will be on business to CDG?

@ arnette lindeen -- Yep, you can use the Concorde Room if you're arriving same day in British Airways first class and connecting.

Hi. Flying JAL F from Frankfurt. Are the Sakura Lounge and First Lounge next to each other? Is there much difference?

@ Waribai -- I haven't been to the first class section so am not sure. I doubt it's much of a difference, unfortunately.

Thanks, yes didn't think there would be a massive difference tbh!
