Advantages: Not find yed!

Disadvantages: Too many for International airport!!!

When you think about Germany you get in your mind a picture of perfect world!
I am sorry but that is not real at all.
Before you start to find what good or bad in one country you must live on at least 6 months.
So that what I found in Frankfurt-Main airport.
1. The airport is easy to reach from highway, trains and bus.
2. First problems when you arrive by car it is that you do not find signs to reach departure or arrival .
The only sign you find it is the one for reach the parking car.
3. Inside of the airport the situation it is the same. Very poor on signs not easy to understand where and when you have to go.
4. This airport is really poor on light only the area of the shops you have a good light.
5. The check-in desks are on bad position, so when you have big queues it is a war to find a way to walk trough and reach on time your flight.
6. The help desk point are really hidden inside the airport and they also hide the escalators to reach the baggage claim.
7. The maps of the airport that you find on the help desk are not clear at all. Maybe these maps are clear to the architects.
8. The exit on the custom for flights from EU are together of the exit of flights from outside EU, so I had to wait at least 30 minutes on queue. Also these exits are so close to the places where you pick up your bag,so immagine the caos.
9. The parking car are poor on light, really dirty and poor on signs to indicate wich direction you should take to get the elevator or stairs.
I think an international airport must be done in a way that all people can easy understand what direction or what information need, because many times you do not have time to stay there to try to enter on the head who project and made that.
Finally I had, and this it is only personal, the feeling that about security inside the airport in case of accident they going to have a big problem.
