Frankfurt International Airport (FRA)

I use Frankfurt on a regular basis as a transit point to get to Berlin. The airport is huge and you must allow a good hour to transfer here. If you are arriving at terminal A you face a good 10 minute walk to terminal B plus queue time to get through passport control. Shopping facilities are the usual high class shops where you look in and think of teh lottery winnings - does anyone ever buy from there ? Lots of duty free shops with wide range of spirits perfumes and tobaccos Bargains none at the moment due to the very strong pound euro exchange rates. If you are coming from Birmingham the transfer is by bus and you get a good sight seeeing tour of the airport good ...  Read the complete review

Frankfurt Airport must be one of the most depressing, boring airports in the world. It is rare for an airport to be architecturally inspiring but whoever designed Frankfurt airport seems to have aimed to squeeze every possible ounce of warmth and humanity out of the place. When airports like this one are to be built it must be like manna from heaven to the suppliers of grey marble. There are 2 terminals, Terminal 1 is the main flying hub of Lufthansa and the second terminal known with subtle originality as Terminal 2 is used by some of the other international carriers including BA. As those who may have read my review of Lufthansa will know I hate Lufthansa. ...  Read the complete review

Anyone expecting German efficiency at this airport is going to be sourly disappointed. What they will get is the most inefficient airport management in Europe, plus abuse. On 7 April, arriving on LH from Moscow and transferring to Paris CDG, I was sent around full circle by the atrociously confusing signposting at FRA, trying to make my way to the connecting flight at terminal 1. To my great dismay it took me a full 45 minutes to find myself again at square one, in the same hall, in front of the same border control post that I had successfully negotiated before. FRA had been bad enough up until then: cancellation of onward flight I had originally been booked on, long bus ...  Read the complete review

Has to be one of the worst airports in the developed world. Long line for toilets - I want to know who designed the restrooms. Hardly any place to sit in the A Gates. Most of the people were sitting on the floor.

It is the Frankfurt Airport in Germany. After browsing at others' review, i believe i was in terminal 1 when i am being transferred to another plane to Italy. The waiting time is about three hours. Wow, it is so hard to spend the three hours in Frankfurt Airport Terminal 1. I was there during late July. It was dark, under-air-conditioned, old & untidy bathrooms, no internet access, even if you are willing to pay, so boring! The area is hot and dark, visitors do not have the mood to shop. The goods of the shops are ok, they are selling a lot of ethnic german stuff. The waiting area is untidy too. ...  Read the complete review
