Advantages: Cheap Flight with Lufthansa

Disadvantages: Unclean, Unfinished

I had the dis pleasure of having to travel through Frankfurt airport early last year and from the look of some of the parts of the airport I think the RAF had been over and dropped a few more bombs for good measure.

There was no flooring down on the floor, leaving bare concrete staring up at you. No wall covering, more bare concrete and the roofs were also bare, showing all there various ducting and piping.

I know that things need to be updated now and again but there didnt even seem to be any buidling work going on to sort out these problems.

Also this airport is supposed to be an International airport. Doesnt that mean that you can speak to the staff in a variety of languages. I needed information and all the staff I spoke to only spoke german. Now I'm not a language nazi who speaks only one language but I couldnt even find anyone who spoke french or spanish either. It was either German or nothing. Most annoying for an international airport. (before everyone says I should speak the language of the country I am in, I speak basic, French and Spanish and I also Speak Japanese, Germany is a country I rarely visit, hence why I dont speak german, nesides how many languages do you speak?)

I dunno whether the airport has been renovated since and as I dont particularly want to go back I guess I'll never find out.
