Contrast that to my flight to Edinburgh on Air France last year; we arrived slightly late and were directed to the wrong line, getting us to miss the plane, arguably partly because we were late, and partly because the wrong instructions. We were offered access to the lounge for the many hours wainting for the next flight, without paying anything for food, drinks and internet, while having only paid for economy class.

Same here with Lufthansa, economy class. We missed the connection due to a delay on the first leg. We were booked to the next flight two hours later (IIRC). We asked if they could accommodate our prolonged stay. They gave us a good amount in vouchers to spend at the airport, which we used to have a nice dinner (Munich airport has some proper restaurants). The two hours fly by in no time.
Despite the delay, we were happy customers.

You may have been eligible for compensation under EU rules. This can be EUR250-400, depending on the delay and distance.
Some vouchers or access to the lounge, with the passenger then not bothering to claim compensation, is much cheaper for the airline.

Hello, mind sharing the good places at MUC? I think I'll be having frequent layovers there in the next few years.
Even better if they have good beer ;)

I've flown Lufthansa plenty of times, they're great, even economy.
