FYI you need the physical card. Apple Wallet not accepted per my experience at FRA this week. Fortunately, I did manage to find the card in my bag.

Can you find about Premium Plaza lounge access with Amex Platinum card with regards to shower usage.

I have read that with Priority Pass you need to pay extra for showers at Premium Plaza lounge but f you use your Amex Platinum card they do not change for use of the showers.

Ben, you got a 'hat tip' from DoC linking to here. (Well, technically, it was originally a 'hate tip,' but, William fixed that typo.) Either way, that's high praise, sir!

Pardon my ignorance: what‘s DoC?

At JFK, in the current Terminal 1, which features a very lack-luster LH Lounge, you can only access the space in non-peak hours with the Platinum Card.

I'm guessing you meant Centurioun Card here?
"...those with the Amex Platinum or Amex Centurion Lounge ..."

Just wanted a clarification: "codeshare flights don’t qualify, meaning that (for example) a Lufthansa marketed flight on United wouldn’t get you access". Does the reverse e.g. a United marketed flight on Lufthansa qualify?

In my experience at plaza premium locations in Asia that is the case. Priority Pass must pay for showers while Amex Plat gets it included for no extra charge.

How about when flying ITA? Isn't that part of Lufthansa Group?

They haven't fully meshed yet. For instance, ITA isn't part of Star Alliance yet. When the mesh is complete, you can be sure that ITA will be part of this.

The only Lufty Lounge I've used is the one at DTW, courtesy of my Star Alliance status with UA. I will say this: it's small, it's pokey, and it gets crowded before the daily departure to Germany. However, it's a real hidden gem. It made me wonder if other LH lounges were this nicely equipped.

The catering isn't really consistent across outstations. ATH (which doesn't feature in this list, presumably because it's very small) has always been really good whilst CDG is disappointing, or at least used to be disappointing when I last visited a few years ago.

Does anyone know if I can access the Senator lounge at FRA if I'm arriving on a long haul business class flight and then connecting to an inter-European business class flight? I hold the AMEX Platinum. Have a 3 hour layover before departing to Madrid.

Alguém sabe informar se cartões Amex emitidos no Brasil podem ser usados para acessar as salas VIP's em Munique? Tenho um Plantinum e nem os operadores dos cartões emitidos pelo Bradesco sabem informar. Não sei se são confiáveis as informações desse site.

At MUC Schengen Lounge, gate K11, flying biz on LH City. There is a common entrance to both lounges. The lady told me that I couldn't access the Senator Lounge. She wasn't very polite either.
