    This is the largest airport in Germany and one of the largest in Europe, so expect it to be very busy at all times. Lots of restaurants, stores, charging stations and of course, free Wi-Fi!

    There are multiple ways to get to Z gates from the A gates and the other way around. Always look for a Z sign sometimes they are on the left and right sides as you walk straight to the larger Z sign

    The airport is huge so check your gate well in time or you might have to run to get there. There are plenty of cafes and shops on the way which might distract you as well so be on time. 😉

    Don’t bother planning your route by looking at the airport map, Einstein almost didn’t make it out of Germany trying to figure out that stupid map. Just follow the signs, it’s far but not confusing.

    No security during a connection, but they did check my passport the walk between was ridiculous though. 1hr!!! You should be able to call an Uber here! 🚕

    Germany‘s gate to the world. You can go almost anywhere from there. I like the healthy bowls at ”Natoo“ in Terminal 1. FRA is very busy, plan enough time.

    It has a yoga room! Which other airport offers it? Additionally the service at the duty free and other stores is among the best I experienced - and I do know airports!

    Free Wifi - and if you have to stay for longer time at the Airport, go to the Mc Donalds at Terminal2! There are comfy couches with power outlets!

    This is one of the biggest airports I've seen. If you are in transit, make sure you have at least an hour layover. You might need to walk for 30 minutes or take a train to another terminal. Huge place

    If you are arriving from an American flight and connecting to another flight within Europe allow at least 1 hour for your connection. You will have to go through security again and the lines are huge

    After the renovations a few years back FRA is much nicer and always pretty efficient, even though walking distances are long. Don't forget there's now free WiFi!

    One of my favorite airports because you can navigate easily to your connecting flights even when in a jam. Great selection of shopping and places to eat as well.

    In case of a long layover, there is a quiet public lounge in the second floor, in front of the Air Canada lounge. Great place to rest and even sneak a sleep on their reclined chairs.

    Great and massive airport. If you are a transit passenger, keep aside good enough time from one gate to another. Free WiFi and plenty of Star Alliances lounges across the terminal.

    What to have a nice meal - go to Hausmann's, right in a center of T1. Service may take a little longer in rush hour, but the food is always good.

    Grumpy immigration officials, grumpier security staff, long distances w/ no walkways, too little seating, F&B outlets that seem to close every time you have that evening long-haul. Horrible airport.

    The airside food options located at the intersections of the long terminal hallways here are incredible and affordable. Showers, smoking rooms, and fast access to the city make it a great layover.

    One of the top busiest airports in the world but very well organized !! It’s close to the city center (almost 20 minutes) .. The hub of Lufthansa !!

    If you have a short layover you will probably miss the connecting flight. If it's Lufthansa they will sort you out efficiently and you'll have time for a hot dog and a €2 Nespresso from the automats.

    They get rid of the gate A42 (A24-A40 area), converted it to a quiet relaxing area. If you are on long layover close to it, no one will bother your siesta time here at this​ area(except the PA).

    Clean, modern, spacious airport with great design and cutting edge facilities for European standards. The restaurants are less interesting in terms of their variety of offerings.

    Maybe the biggest airport in whole Europe, and getting bigger and bigger. It is very modern, but a bit complex. You need to be alert for signs. For connections, consider more time between flights.

    Am only familiar with the B terminal but that's big and keeps you busy while in transit. The McDonald's has the best view of the airfield; at least 2 duty free shops; even a place to get a quick mani!

    Looking for a power source ? Head upstairs at Terminal B to Kuffler & Bucher. Ask nicely and they'll let you sit at the bar with a beer while you use their power behind the bar. 2x Recharge :-)

    Great airport. Only thing that you should be aware of if you are a smoker, once you get in from C terminal security there's no smoking rooms unlike in B or Z.

    . The perrenial shortage of jetways and all the "hard stands" of planes and the required shuttle busses is endlessly frustrating. choose a different airline and connect through a different hub.

    Terrific shopping before security. Come early if you want to buy gifts for family & friends. After security, it’s just the standard stuff and in some gate areas, nothing at all.
