Lufthansa slaps airport lounge lizard with bill for €2,000
A German man has been ordered to pay Lufthansa €1980 – the equivalent of $2,700 – for repeatedly visiting Lufthansa's business lounge in Munich without actually flying anywhere. The un-named lounge lizard bought a flexible business class ticket for €745 to fly with Lufthansa from Munich to Zurich, but never took the one hour flight.

This is a very troublesome way to obtain a marginal meal and a few drinks but if customer followed the guidelines I cannot see him being ordered by a judge to pay restitution to LH, although it is clearly an abuse of the system and I do understand the airline refusing to sell him another ticket.
Unless you live within walking distance (not usually possible) of an airport, the cost and effort of doing this seems counterproductive. It would be easier to attend certain hotels that have free breakfast buffets and evening social hours for free. I've never been checked when staying at hotels.
strange, when you add the cost of parking, is there a tran to muc from munich.
a us judge would of sided with the customer, no warning label!!

nicht ordnungsgemäß.
As it appears the ticket holder had no intent to consummate the journey, his ticket was purchased under fraudulent intent.
At least we know at what Lufthansa values it's lounge services.

Doesn't this guy have a life? I can't imaging going through security that often just to grab some pretzels and a few beers.
Lets be honest here. How many members of Flight Aware do you think thought "Wow, what a great idea to get some awesome pictures"? I sure did...the pilots? No, the rest of us? Heck yeah!
It's much more than that. LH lounge is truly outstanding! Nonetheless, I wouldn't go through so much trouble
