I landed on time from BSL, I went straight to the SEN Lounge. In September, the capacity was reduced by 50% and it was a common thing to queue to enter. That day was no exception, but the wait was really short.

The bread was hot, the cold cuts and the cheeses starter was nice and fresh, I loved the entree that was an egg dish. Several breads and drinks refills were made through the flight.
At the end of the service, an apple was offered:

Conclusion

I felt sorry for LH not investing in WiFi onboard its new neos. Lots of A319 have it, they should at least be consistent with it.

The catering was great, it was fresh, adequate and more than enough food.

FRA was a breeze and MAD has very long walks to the checks and to the exit.

The lounge did its job, there's a bit of wait to enter but once inside it was a nice place to wait for my plane.

As usual, thanks for reading :)
