DragonPass is accepted at the two independent lounges — Hugo Junkers in Terminal B and Open Sky in Terminal C — both airside after security. It's the most useful membership at Düsseldorf if you don't have airline status.

DragonPass

Priority Pass opens the same two independent lounges, Hugo Junkers (Terminal B) and Open Sky (Terminal C). The Lufthansa and Emirates lounges are not part of the Priority Pass network, so confirm your terminal before you travel.

Priority Pass

Star Alliance Gold members and Lufthansa Senator/HON cardholders use the Lufthansa Senator Lounge, while Star Alliance Business-class passengers use the Lufthansa Business Lounge, both in Terminal A. Star Alliance and oneworld status also reach the independent Hugo Junkers and Open Sky lounges.

A premium-cabin ticket gets you into your airline's lounge directly. Lufthansa Business and First passengers use the Terminal A lounges, and Emirates First and Business Class passengers use The Emirates Lounge — the simplest route if you're flying premium out of Düsseldorf.

Emirates Skywards Platinum and Gold members can use The Emirates Lounge when flying Emirates from Düsseldorf, and Economy passengers can buy access subject to capacity. The lounge was renovated in late 2023 with a Do&Co-curated buffet.

Emirates

Match the lounge to your terminal

• —Düsseldorf's terminals A, B and C are wings of one building but each holds different lounges — check which terminal yours is in before security.
• —Lufthansa and Emirates passengers head for Terminal A; DragonPass and Priority Pass holders want Hugo Junkers (B) or Open Sky (C).
• —Once airside you can generally move between the piers, but confirm your lounge's location before you commit.

Membership vs airline access

• —If you carry DragonPass or Priority Pass, the independent Hugo Junkers and Open Sky lounges are your route in — the airline lounges aren't in those networks.
• —Star Alliance and oneworld status also reach the two independent lounges, so you have options beyond the Lufthansa lounges.
• —Hugo Junkers in Terminal B has the widest access of any lounge at DUS.

Lufthansa lounge tiers

• —The Lufthansa Senator Lounge is the higher tier, for Star Alliance Gold and Lufthansa Senator/HON members; the Business Lounge is for Star Alliance Business-class.
• —The Senator Lounge sits on the mezzanine level and is usually the quieter of the two.
• —Both are in Terminal A and are accessed by Star Alliance status or a Lufthansa premium ticket, not by paid membership.
