Starting tomorrow, passengers traveling on Lufthansa (or other eligible carriers / status holders) can enjoy a new lounge opening in Milan’s Malpensa Airport.
The lounge continues the introduction of a new look in Lufthansa lounges that focuses on privacy, comfort, and casualness. With the lounge in Milan, the focus will be on Italian flavors and inspirations such as locally sourced foods as well as beverages that are Italian favorites.
For those of you familiar with the SWISS Lounges in Terminal E in Zurich, the look of the new LH lounge may remind you of the Swiss Lounges when it comes to having food prepared in front of you as well as having a large selection of beverages available to you. There is even a dedicated Barista that will be available for custom coffee specialities.
The lounge, located in Terminal 1A, will afford fantastic view of the airport thanks to glass walls that reach from floor to ceiling. The lounge will have seating for 117 guests and will cover nearly 6,000 square feet (550 sq. meters).

Lufthansa employees in Munich’s Terminal 2 will also be in the Oktoberfest spirit as well, and you’ll be able to see their Drindls and Lederhosen on display between now and October 1.
Aside from the new ‘Uniforms’ that will be on display, passengers aboard Lufthansa flights from Munich will be treated to special Oktoberfest menus that celebrate the holiday as well.
Passengers visiting Lufthansa Business Class and First Class Lounges in Munich will also have some special Bavarian surprises waiting for them too. There will even be special amenity kits for Biz and First Class passengers flying from Munich.
