i think the A gates were named because they are in alsace. we came in a Z or ZZZ gate from iad, had to do some very ugly security checks, missed our plane to lys. "they" put us on the next plane to LYS which left about 2 hrs after we arrived. not a big problem, but if the early plane was the last one from FRA, i'm certain LH would have claimed the lateness to be our problem, and we would have been sleeping on a bench. the walking and train transit time from our gate to the far end of A gates was over 45min. the security check added a considerable amount of time.

we also had a couple sets of stairs, and the very standard dead moving walkways and one escalator. we had to take only one elevator, took 3 loads to get to us.

i never see any complaints about this place, only iad?????
