Where we'd actually go.
The Lounge Koeln-Bonn
The Lounge Koeln-Bonn in Terminal 1 is the only CGN lounge on Priority Pass, which makes it the default choice if you carry a lounge membership rather than airline status. It is open from early morning to late evening and has Wi-Fi, snacks, a bar and even spa services on site.
The Lounge by GLN
The Lounge by GLN sits in Terminal 1 opposite Gate C61 and serves Star Alliance Gold members and business-class passengers. It keeps the longest hours at CGN, staying open into the early hours, so it suits late departures on Star Alliance carriers.
The Lounge
The Lounge in Terminal 2, on the upper level of Concourse D opposite Gate D50, is the oneworld option at Cologne/Bonn. It is the only CGN lounge with a hot food offering and power at the seats, and sits airside after security close to the gates.

How to get into lounges at CGN.
Cologne/Bonn is a status- and membership-led airport rather than a walk-in one. The single Priority Pass lounge covers travellers with a lounge membership, while the other two lounges follow airline alliances — Star Alliance in Terminal 1 and oneworld in Terminal 2 — for Gold or Sapphire status holders and business-class passengers. Check which terminal your lounge is in before you clear security, as the two terminals don't connect airside.
Priority Pass
Priority Pass is accepted at The Lounge Koeln-Bonn in Terminal 1, the only CGN lounge in the network. If a lounge membership is your route in, this is the lounge to head for; the Terminal 2 and Star Alliance lounges don't take Priority Pass.
Priority PassStar Alliance status
Star Alliance Gold members can use The Lounge by GLN in Terminal 1, opposite Gate C61. Access follows your Star Alliance tier and the flight you're taking, so carry your frequent-flyer card and boarding pass.
Star Allianceoneworld status
oneworld Sapphire and Emerald status holders can use The Lounge in Terminal 2, on Concourse D. As with the Star Alliance lounge, entry depends on your tier and your departing flight.
oneworldBusiness class ticket
A business-class ticket gets you into the lounge that matches your airline's alliance — The Lounge by GLN for Star Alliance carriers in Terminal 1, or The Lounge for oneworld carriers in Terminal 2 — without needing frequent-flyer status.
