- Anyone know any lounges that'll be open overnight? Or a good place to get some winks whilst airside? I assume it'll be alright to check bags as through-check in FRA going to LHR (or they won't do it since flights are not on the same calendar day)?
Thanks for all your help!
No worries mate. You can stay airside. The airport operates 24/7.
Lufthansa has an airside lounge which is also open 24/7. It has showers and is quite comfy.
Your bag will be checked through to LHR, there is no need to claim it in DME. For passengers having their final destination luggage must be cleared through customs at the first port of entry, this does not apply to transit passengers.
