Deutsche Bahn: Only with a ticket to the DB Lounge
Free WiFi, free drinks and mobile phones can be charged: Travelers can while away the time in Deutsche Bahn’s DB Lounges. But anyway exclusive access will be further restricted from March 1, 2023. In any case, rail customers must present a valid ticket. Guests without a train ticket will then no longer have access to the premium area of the DB Lounge.

BahnBonus status customers now have to be in possession of a first or second class ticket. A saver price or super saver price ticket is also valid as access authorization (source: Deutsche Bahn).

Railteam customers and customers of cooperation partners of Deutsche Bahn will not be turned away after March 1st either.
