Advantages: choice of destinations

Disadvantages: sheer size

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 if you are a plane spotter. Passport control generally quick. Security check usual hassle of laptop out belt off etc etc but at the end of teh day the guys are doing their job to protect you. Use frankfurt it is a modern clean airport

Summary: good airport
