    Lovely airport. No place to refill water bottles (the have 2 little ones that are not working, and apparently haven’t for some time). Strong Gleiche Wasser lobby?

    Avoid FRA for changing flights. This airport is extremely confusing and personnel rude. To confuse you even more they display trains on the same screens with flights. Simply: avoid at all cost!

    The regional connection to the airport by train are extensive and the station is expansive. Be sure to leave a sufficient (30-40 minute) window to arrive at the terminal, which is reached by bus.

    I like this airport. It has everything you need for your flight. I got even a picture gifted the last I was here. Still don't know why

    Lufthansa is the best airline and more comfortable service on land, but the airport is full, always. No problem with immigration, is very relaxed. And friendly.

    Don't buy a coffee / tea from coffee shops, many free Lufthansa coffee / tea machines are there waiting for you to drink 😊

    For muslims, note that prayer rooms are only available near the arrival and departure gates. Once you go outside, there’ll be no prayer rooms available for you.

    Give yourself plenty of time if connecting from EU to US flights, as the transfer between terminals is a bit cumbersome.

    Long layover? Boom a room at MyCloud micro hotel (ahead of time). Beware : passport control line lengths may differ greatly going one direction vs. the other!

    Much more spacious and new than a few years ago in the Z wing. I like the cheap options for duty free from 0500-1000 everyday

    You will need the 2hrs lay-over if you have an incoming non-eu flight, very thorough security check, long immigration queue, long distance to cover

    If this is your first time travelling from the US, the airport souvenir shops sell adapters for your electric appliances. Make sure the adapter has three pongs for your laptop.

    I like better both Munich and Düsseldorf if it is about German airports. Probably because I have been running many times to one terminal to the other and once I slept here.

    Well connected to the city, but there is quite a bit of walking involved here. Lounges are great and you have so many options for airlines and non-stop destinations here.

    Think about getting wifi for free? In your dream! Give you access with complicated registration. With all advance technology they have, wifi for free is not one of them

    Lufthansa are nice guys: offering a 400-euro compensation for volunteers who would willingly check in for the evening flight to St.Petersburg due to the overbooked morning flight. Yeah right.

    Nice and very large airport. The only drawback is that the free wi-fi connection works well only in certain places and the connection is time limited to 30 minutes.

    The connection hub in europe. Very big airport can be problematic if you have short connection times.

    If you get this sticker they will search you again before you get on the plane. TSA also puts your stuff in the cases for you.

    Messy lounges. Access from gates A to B and reverse is a huge hassle (queuing for elevators - if you choose the stairs is a burden & then the long corridor)! Not a passenger friendly airport.

    If you're American be warned that once you go through security you are at your gate and cannot leave so make sure you are done eating and shopping before going through

    Frankfurt Airport is 6th busiest airport by passenger numbers after Istanbul Airport, London-Heathrow, Paris Charles de Gaulle, Amsterdam Schipol and Madrid Adolfo Suáres Airport. Now YOU know!

    Great airport. However to go from int'l section to local flights (for EU/Schengen), one has to walk a lot. Huge airport.

    Arrive at least 2 hours earlier. It’s serious otherwise you may lose your time between lines and missing your flight ✈️ !

    The shuttle between Terminal 2 and 1 is free of charge. It operates between 5.45 am and 11.45 pm, every 10 min. Long distance train station is at Terminal 1.

    Europe's third busiest airport has improved in the last decade although there is still plenty of room for improvement (i.e. some flights still have their passengers shuttled by bus). Arrive early!

    This is as big an airport as can be. If you want a real workout, try having a 1hr connection time between two different terminals. Non stop running yo barely make it!

    If you are transitting non-schengen make sure you have plenty of time Terminal Z is in Timbuktu and can get 25 mins to get to other terminals. Once efficient now is a third world disaster centre.😒

    If you are darker than khaki, regardless of if you have EasyPASS-RTP, a first-class ticket, etc. Be prepared to be sent to secondary screening. It's nothing serious just be ready.
