And I was even travelling business class on my onward connection, but Lufthansa don’t have a business lounge there. (They gave me a meal voucher instead - I didn’t actually need another meal - particularly an American sized one - at that time).

Compare this with Singapore, where for a reasonable charge you can hire a shower and even a bedroom by the hour, right in the terminal.

BTW, I was able to avail myself of Lufthansa’s business lounge at Frankfurt AM Main while awaiting my connection to Oslo.
