The lounge chairs are more comfortable than most, some of them are even "recliners" in the sense that they are angled at about 45° & make for a decent way to catch a little sleep during a long layover
Terminal2 means always less waiting time to get to the gate. Tax free refund desks are quite busy before far east flights, try the ones after the security check.
The airport is huge. 1 hour is an absolute minimum for connection. Do not hesitate to ask people to let you go in front of the security check line if you short on time
Priority Pass holders be careful not to go to the Sky Lounge behind Passport Control & Security Check which takes long time. They'd also confiscate any un-sealed duty free liquid items you bought!
A disappointment in terms of shopping choices and operations. 2 passport checks at arrival (first one just outside of the plane) must have been designed as additional deterrent. Small choice of shops.
Apparently there is a security policy against zippo lighters but only in Frankfurt have they confiscated mine after many many flights with it. Take care and check it in :(
This airport is huge. Despite how well traveled you think you are, you will still need at least 2 hours before boarding to get to your gate. I'd your easily confused, add more time!
Absolutely the worst airport I have been to in Europe. Due to inefficient passport control and security checkpoint I missed my connection flight which had two hours between. Avoid this airport.
Decent duty free for shopping. Lines can get long for customs check, specially if you are not EU citizen, make sure you have enough time to get to your gate.
If the Security Check in Terminal 1/A is crowded, take the free Skytrain from Terminal 1/B to Terminal 1/A (upper level).......there's a separate check just for Skytrain guests...
If exiting EU on Lufthansa allow 30 min to clear passport control, unless you have elite status. Shorter elite line is on right entering terminal Z. And terminal Z is next to A so walk is short.
Frankfurt Airport is Germany's largest aviation hub with more than 70 million passengers in 2019. More than 100 airlines fly to 275 destinations in 111 countries with approximately 1,400 flights per day.
