Getting Around FRA Airport
FRA features two main terminals, Terminal 1 and Terminal 2, each distinctly organized to facilitate easy navigation. Terminal 1, the larger of the two, is segmented into concourses A, B, C, and Z. It's designed with multiple levels including departure and arrival zones on separate floors, enhancing flow and accessibility. Terminal 2, although smaller, is divided into concourses D and E. If you're transferring between terminals, the SkyLine people mover is an efficient option, with stations strategically located throughout the terminals, ensuring quick and convenient transfers.
Here are some tips to help you move around the airport smoothly:
- Use the SkyLine: This train connects both terminals, with frequent services every 2-3 minutes. Note that it has separate cars for Schengen and non-Schengen passengers, so make sure you board the correct one depending on your destination within the airport.
- Check terminal assignments: Terminal 1 primarily serves Lufthansa and Star Alliance flights, while Terminal 2 caters to oneworld and SkyTeam airlines, among others. This can help you plan your route if you're catching a connecting flight.
- Signage and Information: Keep an eye on the clear signage throughout the airport, guiding you to your gate, baggage claim, or transfer points. Information desks are also available if you need personal assistance.
