On our way home from Puglia, we had a connection in Frankfurt Airport (FRA) before heading onto New York John F Kennedy International Airport (JFK) on Delta Air Lines (flight review here). This might have been the first time that I did not fly a Star Alliance airline out of Frankfurt and I was not familiar with Terminal 2. Passengers flying Delta One® are invited to use the Priority Lounge. While it’s marginally better than sitting in the terminal, it’s nothing special and was excessively crowded.

A desk is on the left side upon entering the lounge to check credentials. Access is granted to Business or First Class passengers and those with frequent flyer cards that grant them access from the following airlines:

Those with Priority Pass, Lounge Key, Lounge Pass, Lounge Club, or Diners Club are also allowed access. Day passes are sold for 49€ for adults and 29€ for children ages two to 12. The price is per person and limited to three hours.
Anthony’s Take: This lounge was crowded, offered mediocre food, and a bland design. It’s not worth arriving early for, but if you have some time it beats waiting at the gate.
Bar
There is not a true bar in this lounge. Wine, a few bottles of liquor, beer, and soft drinks are all self serve.
Beer and soft drinks are found in refrigerated cases near the buffet.
More beer and soft drinks under the buffet.
There are two coffee machines in the lounge.
Food
Breakfast was being served during our visit. Food is found on a buffet near the back of the lounge. This included some hot dishes, soup, yogurt, fruit, bread, meat, cheese, and some cereal. We did not eat anything as we were fairly full after eating in the lounge at the Marriott.
The buffet featured all of the ingredients needed for a full English breakfast.
Tomato Soup
Nearby, yogurt, fruit, and vegetables were on offer.
Meat and cheese as well as bread were on the opposite end.
Chips and snacks
Chocolate cake
Seating & Decor
As mentioned above, the lounge was crowded when we were there. There are a lot of airlines that use this lounge and during peak times it is packed. There are tables and chairs around the space in different configurations.
The area closer to the front had dining tables.
There were also some desks (although they did not have doors to function as phone booths).
There is not much in the way of decor in this lounge. These clocks with some candy were the most interesting thing to look at here.
Amenities
This lounge offers free Wi-Fi, magazines, a shower that costs 15€ to use, and the food and beverages mentioned above. The Wi-Fi was fairly slow and I did not see the showers during our visit.
Overall Impression:
This lounge is offers little and is kind of an embarrassment that premium passengers flying so many airlines have to use this cramped, bland space.
