I looked at the recommended map ([Ihttp://www.lufthansa.com/mediapool/pdf/70/media_697070.pdf[/I]), but I am having a hard time visualizing where these gates are located. Could you help me with this? Are they one level below the other Pier B gates which are on level 2? How do you get from these Bus Gates to go up to Passport Control? Is Passport Control on level 3? After Passport Control,we want to go to Concourse B for a bite before going to our connecting Schengen flight (LH 4086). Our connecting flight may leave from an A Gate (eg. A15) or another B Gate (eg. B10). Thanks for your help.

excellent advice to follow the signs!
I think the non-Schengen bus gates are on level 1 and passport control is on level 3. There are escalators and an elevator you can take from the bus gates.
Since you seem to have plenty of time between your flights, you may want to stay in the public area for a bite before going through security to the departure area.
Since I've successfully avoided BNS arrivals for several months now I hope
mh492 or other FRA regulars will be able to correct me if needed.
