Lufthansa has opened its new $10 million Euro premium lounge in Terminal B at Newark Liberty International Airport, New Jersey.
The centerpiece of the 600 square-metre lounge is the central Skyline Bar. There passengers will find a large selection of cocktails, wines, spirits and non-alcoholic drinks. Plus craft beer on tap from New Jersey, the “Garden State”.
On the culinary front, the Lufthansa Group offers its guests a selection of fresh regional products in the bistro area. In summer, the menu includes cornbread from Jersey with candied tomato jam and sandwiches with trumpet mushrooms, bacon, crisp lettuce and tomato chutney on sourdough bread.
First Class passengers and HON Circle members have the opportunity to enjoy an à la carte menu in a private dining area. They can also choose from a selection of top wines and champagne.
Victoria Schuster, Vice President Product & Customer Experience Lufthansa Airlines, said the Newark lounge sets new standards for the airline.
“It offers private travellers cozy retreats for relaxation and our business customers generous workspaces. This lounge is a testament to our commitment to the customer as we strive to continually improve the experience for our guests, on the ground and in the air. That’s why we continue to invest in our offering around the world, whether in New Jersey or elsewhere, to meet Lufthansa’s premium standards and, above all, those of our guests.”
The new lounge at Newark Liberty Airport offers space for around 170 guests – an increase in capacity of 25% compared to the previous space. The lounge is open to First and Business Class passengers of all Lufthansa Group airlines flying to Newark Airport, as well as HON Circle members and Senators.
One third of the space is dedicated to the needs of business travellers and offers, among other things, functional communal tables with the option of wireless charging or wireless printing. The remaining part of the space invites relaxation and contains comfortable seating for different group sizes – from single seats for solo travellers to seating for couples or larger groups.
Lufthansa currently operates around 60 lounges at 17 locations worldwide, offering its guests a place to relax or work before their flight.
