- the fine print says that the car service from B is only for A / C or apron for non schengen / non EU destinations.
So a real nice enhancement when wanting to connet to the STR flights - back to endless waiting at A1-5 for the bus ...

OK, here's the quote:
FCL / Hall B
'For a departing or a connecting flight to a non-Schengen or non-EU destination in Hall A and C or from a non-gate position, you will also be taken to your aircraft by limousine or executive minivan.'
And indeed, for some connections, mainly C to A & vice versa, this enhancement to my mind defies largely the concept of - to quote the LH brochure - 'A relaxed connection' that was introduced with HON. The 'enhancement' no longer provides for a relaxed connection. It's back to FRA basics with all its 'efficiencies'. It's back to queeing at security, wasting time, get bussed around, etc. No service to/from the gate. And as TFM rightly states: 'Nor does it offer any dedicated security or passport screening. Hence, the F experience will be identical to the Y experience. For me, F becoming as bad as Y on the ground is no enhancement.'
