FRA -- Most Confusing Airport In The World?
I just came back from a wonderful trip in J on LH. The Shrimp in Chili Sauce was possibly the best seafood entree that I've had on an airplane. The FA's were friendly and very efficient. Overall, it was a great trip!
However, I had never been to the FRA airport. I knew that I was in trouble when the FRA welcome video took 15 minutes and I had to watch it twice to begin to understand the airport. We pulled in at C14 and my connecting flight was at B43 (or something like that).
Contrary to the video, there were no smiling LH employees meeting the plane to point us toward our connecting flights. I followed the signs that said "Connecting Flights". I walked for possibly 1km, turning left and right as the signs pointed, went through security, walked another 1km, went up some esclators, stared at various signs for 5 minutes to locate B43, and finally got near the gate area (which had another security check). Then, I found the Business Lounge (very easy) and relaxed for 2 hours.
I've been to airports all over the world, but FRA had to be the most confusing. I watched the FRA video twice, studied the FRA map in the magazine for 30 minutes, and still had no clue as to where I was really going. Does anyone else find this airport to be confusing?
