Got a few hours in FRA

And i'm on LH F. Is the F terminal worth checking out?

I know that LH also has F lounges in their regular terminal.
Which is better, the F terminal or the F lounge?

I got about 4 hours to kill between my UA flight from the US and my LH flight to India.


I will definately post my review of the UA F product vs. LH F product since i'll be on same type of plane in the same class.

F terminal is a common suggestion. Many also like the casino (Spielbank) in 1B. My personal favourite is to take a 320d out onto the Autobahn (Sixt is great for this).

LH F Terminal is a must since you are entitled. Perfect way to spend 4 hours. Shower (or bath), get your pants/shirt pressed, spend an hour or two napping in one of the private sleeping rooms, and then try out the complimentary restaurant. Then, you'll be wisked staight to your departing plane in a porsche cayenne or mercedes (driven across the airport tarmac).

Also, if you don't have a laptop with you, your PA will bring one and set it up for you to use while you are in the terminal/lounge. Last time, I was escorted by two people to my connecting flight - one was a driver and the other carried my carry-on bag until I got on the plane, then introduced me to the purser. Great service!

I got a racecar already -most of the 'need for speed' is out of my system.

Thanks for those who replied. The F terminal it is. I like that they will escort you, i pulled my back this weekend doing some work at home and it would be lovely if one of the staff could help me with my carryon (just a laptop and my passport).

Good choice ...and 4 hours is about the right time for it.

Now about that head-to-head comparison report... I'd say there's no comparison, but still look forward to reading it

Enjoy!

Since this is really not UA-related, moving to the appropriate forum, thanks.
