Done FRA many times in the past with no problem.
The last visit in May I needed to get out of the transit area to go to the Pharmacy in the Main Departure hall. The immigration officer asked me how long I will be staying in Germany I told him for couple of hours. Without raising any eye brows he then asked me" are you going to the Airlines Lounge?" I said yes. He stamped my passport and let me go.
I vaguely remember back in the days we used to go through immigration to get to UA Red Carpet club. I haven't used that club for so many years - thanks to Lufthansa First class lounge - I didn't know you still need do that.
