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.

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.

- 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?

I redeemed UA miles (X/economy) to get from Vienna to Santorini on Eurowings in June last year, and I was able to access the OS lounge in VIE with no issues as a UA Gold. IIRC, my BP did not have *G printed on it. Presented my FF card to the dragon.

Huh. I thought this was actually a different subsidiary! Germanwings (4U) still exists according to UA ( https://www.united.com/cms/en-us/mar...spx?itemid=625 ). As far as I can tell, Eurowings (EW) is a different subsidiary; it looks like their BOS-CGN flight is a wet-lease operated by Sunexpress on behalf of Eurowings.
But -- wait -- did EW take over all of the 4U routes? Are they just 4U again?!

Well, apparently so did quite a few other people, especially in Germany.
So they decided to rebrand it as EW, and fold it into its sister subsidiary Eurowings (both owned by LH). So the two are now one.

o.k., yes, codeshares. LX also allows access to SEN lounges on WK flights when on LX code. This is just how they work. Reportedly there are issues with a 4U or EW flight # to get access. Technically the rule only allows access to LH lounges.

I checked 2 bags for free as a *G on an award ticket last September. The agent at the counter initially let me check 1 and he fiddled around in the computer for 30 seconds and let me put a 2nd one on for free, he said it was something with UA *G. YMMV, either way its only about 7-10 Euros to check a bag.

This only applies for the first bag when booking Basic. The 2nd bag will cost 75€ to 100€, even in SMART:
So it might become pretty expensive. when 2nd bag for UA *G (not an official benefit) is not granted.
