For 18+ no test will get you in, access requires vaccination OR recovery.

For 6-18, access requires vaccination OR recovery OR a negative test OR a Schultestheft.

For under 6 there are no restrictions.
For 6-18, is the test required to be PCR? We're transiting FRA on Monday with our 6 year old and we are getting our rapid Covid tests today.

I also assume the lounge entry requirements would be the same at the sit down restaurants in the airport? Just wondering what our options are. Thank you.

https://www.hessen.de/Handeln/Corona...ssen/2G-Option doesn't specify the type of test so I would presume an antigen is fine.

Correct. Only take-away would be unaffected.

Right, where is it talked about? At MUC Schengen, they were already separating back in August, I lined up for a Business for almost half an hour, while Senator had no line ups (I had a J ticket without status, I was denied) and HON members could skip the lines at other Business lounges.

I know Helga has re-contracted in places like DUB. There's a 17:45 departure to FRA, but the airport site says the lounge closes at 16:00, Lufthansa says it's open til 20:00. Is it the case that pax booked on LH981 have no lounge access?

I just expected a contract lounge would be open for the flight hours of its contracted party

It's crazy they are still doing this at major airports. I had a 5pm flight last July from Frankfurt, and the lounge closed FOR THE DAY at 2pm! In practice they closed the restrooms at 1:45pm, and started kicking everyone out. They were not nice about it when I asked why restroom access was blocked so early. We then had to hang out for more than 2 hours in the gate area, despite having paid for a trans-Atlantic business class ticket.

my wrong answer can be deleted, if not closed again, you should be able to access

Was the rapid antigen sufficient for your 6 year old to enter? I will be in the same situation next week entering the Z lounge with my son.

How consistently are they checking vax status? I went to MUC Senator yesterday and they just took my bp and let me through without check-in anything covid related. Asking ahead for flight out of FRA in a week

Your boarding pass shows ADOK if the checkin process verified your health documents so no further verification required in MUC, other locations follow other rules.
