FRA Terminal Connections | iFlyer Forum

On arrival at Frankfurt Airport, which is well marked & easy to navigate, all arriving U.S. flights are handled at Area A; after customs clearance, you can take the tunnel to the your connecting B gates, arriving near gate B19 (B gates are B1-63). You have plenty of time.

You may arrive at either at either 1C or 1A (the 1A extension has just been completed and soon (or already) will handle all incoming US flights at area A. Lufthansa uses both Piers A & B of Terminal 1. If you need to change over from A to B you can use the tunnel; at C gates use the directional signs. Your time is adequate.

Thanks for the info....

AT Frankfurt Airport, Lufthansa uses both Concourses A & B of Terminal 1. All incoming flights from the U.S. are being handled at Area A. To connect between B & A gates use either the the transfer tunnel at pre-security, or the SkyLine train inside security, which runs every 2-3 mins. Your bags will be transferred to your connecting flight. You have enough time.

Concourse A is on the ifly map: see http://www.ifly.com/frankfurt-airport/FRA-Concourse-A; and the text under the map does refer to A+ opening. However, the person charged with maps has not yet had a chance to make the change (overwhelmed by so many Airport around the world adding new terminals, etc.) I see from Frankfurt AP map that Concourse A now branches into to arms, one with gates A1-42 & another (A+) with gates 50-69).

Frankfurt Airport is well-managed with international signs guiding you. Your arrival and departure will be from the same Terminal 1; however Lufthansa uses both Concourses A & B with corresponding gates. Your ticket and the overhead screens on arrival will indicate flight number, gate & departure time. As you only use one Airline for both legs of your journey, your bags will automatically be transferred to the connecting flight. All you need to do is follow the "non-Schengen" (foreign) passport-check line. As long as you stay within the secured area (after security checkpoint) you can eat or shop (as time allows); then - if needed - take the SkyLine Train running every 2-3 minutes and stopping between Concourses A & B.

Appreciated, I am also coming back via LH419 and LH760 en-route to delhi & have about 5 and a half hrs stoppage Are duty free shops within the security checkpoints.

You arrive and depart at Frankfurt Airport in Terminal 1 - Concourse B (B gates B1-63).

You arrive & depart at Frankfurt Airport from Terminal 1. While United uses Concourse B, Lufthansa uses both Concourses A & B - all with corresponding gates. If you do not yet have a boarding card for your connecting flight, you can obtain one at the gate or at the Transfer Desk in the B Concourse of Terminal 1. To transfer between B and A gates, you can use the transfer tunnel outside security, or the SkyLine train inside security, which leaves every 2-3 mins. (On arrival you will need to go through non-Schengen passport control - just follow signs.) You have sufficient time.

Both United and Lufthansa use Terminal 1 of Frankfurt Airport; while United used Pier B - it may now arrive on the brand-new 'Pier A-Plus, where all incoming flights from the US will be handled in Area A (not sure if that is already effective). Lufthansa uses Piers A & B with corresponding gates. Look on arrival for your connecting flight number, gate & departure time.
