Lufthansa Lounge Stuttgart: Opening delayed until winter 2025/26!
Lufthansa is planning to reopen its lounge at Stuttgart Airport, which has been closed since the start of the Covid-19 pandemic. This decision comes at a time when airport lounges are gradually reopening to the public, including at Lufthansa. However, there is still uncertainty about the exact opening dates. Loud Frankfurt flyer The lounge could not be put back into operation until winter 2025/26 at the earliest.
The delay in opening is due to fire safety issues in the lounge area. A Lufthansa spokesman confirmed that work on the lounge is progressing, but security requirements are a challenge. Currently, access to “The Aviator Gallery” is reserved for HON Circle Members, while Senators have limited access. The “Senator Comfort Area” near Gate 310 is also available as an alternative option for senators.
Transitional offers and capacity problems
Frequent flyers currently do not have access to other lounges at Stuttgart Airport as capacities are limited due to high demand. The HON Circle Member lounge, which is currently accessible, only covers 150 square meters with only 42 seats, which leads to overcrowding as passengers from other airlines also use the lounge. This creates noticeable discomfort among passengers who rely on a comfortable waiting experience. An opening of the Stuttgart Lounge was never on Lufthansa's cross-list for permanent closures during the pandemic, which is a positive aspect for the region, as Business Traveler reported.
The challenges facing Lufthansa at the Stuttgart location underline the need to review and, if necessary, expand capacities. Lufthansa is currently looking for a “Head of Lounge Stuttgart” to manage the future lounge. It is still unclear whether separate business and senator lounges will be retained or merged when the lounge comes back.
Eurowings and the future of lounges
At the same time, Eurowings is testing its own lounge concept in Stuttgart, which is also only accessible to senators. This could create additional options for frequent flyers and reduce pressure on existing capacity. The developments surrounding the Lufthansa Lounge are an important update for all travelers and frequent flyers at Stuttgart Airport who are hoping for a return to normal conditions, while alternatives offer less comfort in the meantime.
