Depends on the amount of hand luggage and the weather.
You have to leave the terminal on either departure or arrival area and walk between 300 and 700m depending on where you exit the terminal.
Sometimes it is quicker and more efficient to do the walk, triggers for me are where my feeder arrives and the connecting plane departs. If I arrive at A or Bus Gates and leave from B or C I most definitely do the walk to the FCT.
If I arrive A Schengen and depart from B non Schengen, I will use FCL A.
If I arrive at C and depart from B or A it depends on the amount of pax around me. In the last instances I decided to leave and walk to the FCT.
Never was picked up in C and driven to FCL B so far.
It is quite sad, that for a Hon or an F class pax leaving the terminal can be the most efficient way to connect in FRA.
That is why I prefer MUC and ZRH and even DUS over FRA. It is actually always my last choice when I do the booking.
