I have a negative PCR test taken for entry into the UK. It was taken 24hours before check in, approx 36 hours before I want to use the lounge in FRA and approx 42 hours before my arrival into MAN.
Does this permit lounge access in FRA?

What difference does having a PCR test make and why does this "last longer"? I wouldn't say I saved pennies, I took the most expensive test available in Bangkok, which is the PCR.

Entry requirement for paid acces in FRA and for J-F / FF entry differs slightly..

No, it's 24 hours for all tests for all FRA restaurants.

Since we are talking about "these parts of the world", looking at Germany, where the lounges are located, could be a good start: As of yesterday, about 25 percent of the population was fully vaccinated. Most people under 60 without preexisting conditions, including many business travelers, are not. Easy.

Hi all,
I am currently in the MUC Senator Lounge (Gate G28, Schengen).
Note that it's now open. You do not need the Luca app (or to fill out any forms). However, you DO need an FFP2 mask. Those with surgical masks were turned away. There is limited hot food & drink available (not self serve). Also worth to note that to enter any shops within MUC, you need a FFP2 mask (including all duty free shops).

What about Berlin? They have a strict FFP2 rule for most indoor places there (no surgical masks/cloth masks allowed). Anyone with experiences to share? Will fly through BER in about a week or so.

The LH lounge finder only shows the FFP2-requirement for MUC, but neither FRA nor BER. Would carry an FFP2, if I were you, just in case.
