To celebrate the Holiday Season this year, Lufthansa has unveiled a brand-new duck that will be available to passengers who visit Lufthansa’s First Class Terminal and Lounges in Frankfurt and the First Class Lounge in Munich.
This is the first time that this particular design has been used so for all of you Duck Collectors make sure that you get yourself to the FCT or an FCL and claim yours! They’ll be available while supplies last through Christmas.
To see previous versions of Lufthansa’s First Class Duck, please visit the 1st Class Duck Registry…..

BRUSSELS Airlines has opened a brand new Lounge at Brussels Airports today which creates an entirely new and fresh experience for the airline’s loyal travelers (Star Alliance Gold members included!).
Referred to as “The Loft”, the new lounge offers passengers 13,500 square feet of space and is broken up into 8 different hubs, each with a different theme or purpose. “The Loft” is nearly 4 times the size of its predecessor which should alleviate overcrowding concerns. The lounge provides travelers with access to private bathrooms complete with showers as well as what ‘SN’ refers to as ‘NapBoxes’ for passengers looking to close there eyes for a few hours in between flights.
The lounge is designed to host up to 300 guests at one time and provides a few amenities that are fairly unique. One of the more attractive amenities is the ability for lounge guests to borrow one of the lounge’s Surface Pro 3 tablets during their visit. The tablet comes with a “Lounge Assistant” app that allows users to check flight status and book the use of a shower or ‘napbox’. The app also provides video-on-demand through YELO. If technology is not your strong suit, Brussels has provided their lounge staff with specialized ‘Butler Training’ to further assist you during your stay.
The following photos should provide a good first look at the lounge and some of the amenities that you’ll find (all photos courtesy of BRUSSELS Airlines):

With the opening of Heathrow’s new Queen’s Terminal in June, Star Alliance members began to transfer their operations to the brand new facility. As part of the move, Lufthansa has installed a fantastic new SENATOR & BUSINESS Lounge for passengers to enjoy. Though the new terminal has been open since June, the construction of the Lounges was not completed until recently, just ahead of Lufthansa’s scheduled date to transfer operations to ‘T2’. A select few had an opportunity to gain a sneak peek of the new Lufthansa Lounges before the flying public could get its hands on it and shared their photos.
A big thanks to Vielfliegertreff’s RCS (akaFlyerTalk’s RCS85551) and FlyerTalk’s Oliver2002 for providing all of the photos of the new Lounge that you’ll see below. You’ll notice that the theme of the lounge is consistent with that of the new Lounges that you’ll find in Frankfurt, with new seat designs and separate seating areas based on passenger’s needs. From first glance, it looks as though Lufthansa will recreate the same Senator & Business Class experience as we are accustomed to in Germany.
To learn more about Terminal 2 and the additional amenities that you’ll find, please visit Heathrow’s official website for T2.
