On the return portion of my exotic journey to Bangkok via Paris, I had an extended layover at the Lufthansa Lounge Milan Malpensa Airport (MXP). I was booked to fly to Zurich (ZRH) on SWISS, but my flight ended up being canceled, so my initially planned roughly three hour layover ended up being more like seven hours.
For the most part, I find Lufthansa’s regional European lounges to be pretty bland and average, but I must say, I thought this lounge was a cut above. Maybe it’s just a function of this being Italy, but I loved the barista coffee, and I also found the food to be a bit better than usual.
I also have to say, the staff in the lounge were lovely, in terms of assisting with rebooking me. That’s a bit ironic, because some longtime OMAAT readers may remember my 2022 incident in this lounge, where I dealt with an awful, vindictive lounge agent.
A great solo travel tip spotted this week on One Mile at a Time.
