There is no different terminals in DUS; there's only one and only one terminal and this leads to Piers A, B, and C. With just a DUS-CUN boarding pass you will not be allowed to Pier B (Hugo Junkers) will have to use the AB lounge in Pier C. The check-in desks for AB flights to North America is situated between Piers B and C (around check-in desk 172 to 179).

Thanks a lot for all supportive answers :-)

Just received a bit of bad news, AB cancelled the 10 am to FLR and put us on the 12:20. We are arriving on the AB flight from JFK at 7 am in J, the AB lounge rules say maximum time allowed is 3 hours? I can't imagine someone coming up to us and saying I'm sorry your time is up- out you go. From what I have read here we should probably kill some time by visiting both lounges anyway. I know some of you have suggested going into town but I can't see my wife going for this. Has anyone been asked to leave?

Claim you EC261/2004 compensation. You may or may not have access to AB lounge in Pier C depending on the Pier the JFK lands (usually C but sometimes B). I highly doubt anybody will ask you to leave.

Wouldn't I be able to get either lounge flying J and my status (Sapphire)?

If transatlantic flight lands in Pier B, you can access only the Hugo Junkers lounge in Pier B.

If it lands in Pier C, you can access both the AB lounge in Pier C as well as Hugo Junkers lounge in Pier B.

Upcoming Delta J Flight (2 ppl) with 2 family members in Etihad Coach. I am already aware that they are in the same terminal (C), and am wondering about potential lounge options?
Thanks,

Delta website has a lounge directory for both SkyClub and partner lounge options.

Transatlantic flights do not arrive in terminal B. They may park there, but you will be bussed to A or C. Terminal B does not currently have any passport facility in operation for arriving/departing flights. BA now depart from A gates.

So, as DUS terminals A, B and C are all connected airside, you can pass between them. Worth keeping in mind for those with non-EU passports that you will need to pass through immigration at C, and passing back through to get to A or B gates will be pain. That doesn't mean you couldn't do it though.

The AB lounge in C terminal is AB run, so is full open to OW S/E. The walk takes 5mins from B-C, plus the same from A-B.

The AB lounge in B terminal is Hugo Junkers, but this is airport operated. That may cause issues when trying to get in on a perfectly valid AB/OW flight departing from C terminal, but they do have an ongoing agreement for AB users to use the lounge. They may just need a little direction. I find the lounge angels there to be very friendly, and the lounge in preferable compared to the AB offering in C terminal.

Do note that non-EU passport holders may be stuck in long lines if Turkey/Russia bound flights are leaving, so factor that in to your options.

Has this just started again? Departures from A gates started for a while in Sept/Oct IIRC, but they were back at the normal B gates when I arrived and departed last month? Flightstats also shows yesterdays and todays flights were still going from gate B35.

Are you saying there is a change during 2015? I can assure you during the early half of 2015 and in years prior to that, the end of Pier B is non-Schengen complete with immigration and customs capabilities. I have arrived from JFK and clear entered Germany via Pier B.

Could someone please tell me what (if any) lounge I will have access to at DUS for a Schengen flight on AB?

(I'm a non-AB OWE.)
