15.08.2024 - 22:42 / travelandleisure.com
A high-traffic airline lounge just got a big upgrade.
Inside Newark Liberty International Airport, Lufthansa Airlines just debuted its revamped lounge, set to benefit travelers flying to Europe on board the airline's daily flights.
This week Travel + Leisure got an early look at the the brand-new 6,370 sq. ft. lounge in the airport's Terminal B. The space is complete with natural wood tones and calm lighting to create a welcoming environment and has different zones for every type of situation including a conversation area, an independent work area, and even private rooms that can be utilized for video or audio phone calls.
«We come from the hustle and bustle, and very often traveling is stressful, so our overall picture that we want to give is just an oasis of calm,» Lufthansa Airlines' Head of Customer Experience and Lounges Jessica Scheibach shared with T+L during an interview inside the lounge.

There are also perfectly positioned coffee, cold beverage, and bar areas that allow traffic to easily flow through without a cluster of passengers in one area.
Scheibach highlighted the focus on charging devices, as there are a variety of updated wireless, USB-A and USB-C chargers throughout the space. During various lounge visits, the Lufthansa team would see people crouching on the floor or hunting for chargers, and the new lounge looks to solve this problem.
“We call it inclusive charging, because very often our travelers may not have the adapters, and then with all the USB plugs, they don't have to have the local adapters, but they can put it right in there,” Scheibach said while gesturing to one of the many the wireless charging stations in between each seat in the lounge.

The lounge also takes local inspiration from New Jersey offering fresh local food from the community including Jersey corn sweet bread, and Jersey tomato jam. The airline has also placed New Jersey craft beer on tap for travelers to enjoy a taste of the local breweries.
The lounge is located near gate 60, and is open daily from 2:15 p.m. until 10:30 p.m. EST. The lounge, which cost over $10 million, utilized 30 local New York-are companies for the construction, and was designed by the German firm Kitzig Design Studios.

Lufthansa operates two flights a day to both Frankfurt and Munich from the terminal.
Since the airline is a member of the Star Alliance, which includes United Airlines, travelers that are Star Alliance members or United Club pass holders will also be able to enjoy the lounge.
