International Connection (14 Hours) in FRA
Flying out of FLR (Florence) on Lufthansa City Line, arriving Frankfurt (FRA) at 8:25pm.
Connecting Flight wait time is 14 Hours 35 minutes...
Flying out of FRA at 11:00am next day to Los Angeles LAX.
Questions:
For this 14 hour long connection wait, what should I do?
Not leave the airport?
If ever I leave the airport upon arrival at FRA and stay in a hotel and then come back the next morning, that means I will be going out through security; will I need to have a Germany Visa to do this? (US Citizen here)
Will I have to go through immigration/customs again, if ever I do or do not?
What are my options, what can I do in any of the above cases?
Is there a lounge I can stay at in the airport?
Will greatly appreciate any input... thanks!
