Well, that bad? Certainly not the most confusing airport in the world, there are other examples. In general, there is for Star Alliance ONE Terminal with three piers. I agree, it becomes confusing but not because of the airport, but because of "Schengen, Non-Schengen, EU, Non-EU, US" and all possible combination of transfers between these five alternatives.All of this has an effect on the airport layout. If you are not familiar with FRA and the concept and have to change between the piers, going landside from one pier and going airside again from the other can be the easiest.
The only worse experience would have been if the signs had been in German only. As I mentioned earlier, I tried to read the map and I watched the video twice and I still didn't understand where I was going. There was absolutely NO signage as to where I was -- and futhermore I wasn't passing any gates with seating areas and gate numbers. How was I supposed to know where I was? I must have been inside of a secret passage somewhere at FRA.
As for Schengen/Non-Schengen/EU/Non-EU/US, why do they make it this hard???
