No preference for UA, *A elites transfering at FRA
Things I saw when I flew into FRA to transfer to UA901 FRA-SFO:
1. No special lines for elites to get boarding passes, anywhere.
2. No elite security entrance. The security process itself was the most dehumanizing security check in the western world. If your daily vitamin pill includes iron, that will be more than enough to set off the magnetometer and trigger the procedure.
3. More passport checks in one day than I have encountered practically the entire previous year worldwide.
4. A staff that seemed to be made up of LH employees and outside contractors who really didn't care.
5. Inadequate and poorly designed airport toilet facilities.
I guess if you are LH F and go through the special terminal, it's a different world. But for all the rest of us, this is an abysmal airport to transfer at.
