Information for passengers departing with Eurowings:
- Passengers who have booked a SMART or BEST fare and who have a Miles & More HON Circle Member or Senator card have access to Lufthansa Senator and Business Lounges on the day of their departure.
- Passengers who have booked a SMART fare and who have a Miles & More Frequent Traveller card have access to Lufthansa Business Lounges on the day of their departure.
- Passengers who have booked a BEST fare have access to Lufthansa Business Lounges on the day of their departure.
- Passengers who have a Star Alliance Gold card only have access to Lufthansa’s Senator and Business Lounges if they are customers of United Airlines (UA) or All Nippon Airways (NH).
The german version of the Lufthansa website clearly says that no fare restriction apply.
lufthansa.com/de/de/loungetypen-und-zugang
lufthansa.com/de/de/loungetypen-und-zugang
Gäste, die eine Star Alliance Gold Card besitzen, haben nur dann Zugang zu den Senator und Business Lounges der Lufthansa, wenn sie Kunden der Fluggesellschaften United Airlines (UA) und All Nippon Airways (NH) sind. Dies ist von dem gebuchten Tarif unabhängig.

[LH Lounge access] Advice for passengers who are departing with Eurowings:
- Passengers have free access to the Lufthansa Senator and Business Lounges in Germany provided they have a Miles & More HON Circle Member or Senator Card.
- Passengers who have booked the Eurowings BEST fare and Frequent Travellers who have booked the SMART fare are entitled to use the Lufthansa Business Lounges on the day of their flight.
- Passengers who have a Star Alliance Gold Card, however, do not have access to the Lufthansa Lounges. Exceptions to this are the Star Alliance Gold Card customers of the airlines United Airlines (UA) and All Nippon Airways (NH), who receive access to Lufthansa’s Senator and Business Lounges.
- Not confirmed, but plausible: Rules will change from March 26, 2017:
Access to LH Lounge is only possible when departing on a SMART or BEST fare. BASIC fare does not entitle to lounge access.
Does UA *G get lounge access when flying Eurowings?

did you ask for a supervisor? This is pretty bad something as common as UA 1K. :LH agents see that dozens of times a day.

What I don't understand is 1Ks are *G. What were you using to show status that did also show *G?

Just visited the TXL and DUS Senator lounges flying a EuroWings Basic fare. After showing my United Gold digital (not physical) card, it was scanned along with the boarding pass I was granted access. They did however, give me funny looks, I suspect it's uncommon for people on Light fares with UA*Gold status to be visiting said lounges? For reference my routing with EW today is TXL > DUS > LAS.

Interesting. But NO access at LH*G because that requires a SMART or higher fare, correct?
At LHR can you access the United Club or only the LH lounge?

Since the UA Club is far far away from the EW gates it makes no sense to try and go there if you have an EW flight, the LH lounge is nice enough!

Assuming you mean at LH*G lounges, then you have the access rules reversed. UA and NH *G can access only LH business/Senator lounges when flying on basic fares. There is no access to any other *A lounges, regardless of fare or status since EW is neither a *A airline nor connecting partner.

Have any UA*G recently accessed a Lufthansa lounge when traveling on Eurowings? Just curious if this benefit, which is still listed on the United website when traveling with Eurowings, survived COVID.

Yes, I did not last May in MUC. You need to show your *G card for UA. I am a 1K and 1MM so have *G. It was not enough to show the BP you need to show the actual card.
