I just want to confirm that UA*G do have access to the LH-lounge when flying on EW.
Last weekend I flew from DUS to HAM to DUS with EW on basic, and I get access to the Senator-lounges at DUS and HAM with one guest.

The same procedure in DUS and in HAM, and the ladies told me that's the normal way.

Is it necessary to have a flight that day on UA to be able to use the Senator lounge? I have a short round trip entirely within Germany coming up and would like to use the lounge beforehand.

Good to know. Any chance you know how e.g. LX and OS deal with EW/4U tickets and their lounges?

Good to know, thanks!
I'm flying out of HAM in the morning on UA 865, so glad to hear I should be able to use the Senator lounge.

Why would you not have access to the SEN lounge in Hamburg? You are going international as a *G on a *A carrier.
The issue(s) at hand here is how non-FTL/SEN/HON (i.e. *Gs) are being treated when flying Eurowings/Germanwings.
