As a follow-up on my connection last week. Arrived at Z20 and left out of B33. It took about
20 minutes gate to gate:
- Walk from Z20 to the passport control across Z11 - about 5 minutes
- Pretty long line at passport control for both EU and other countries as the automated gates were not operating. About a 3-minute wait, somebody does show up and opens the automated gates. So I used those, and was through in about 5 minutes
- Walk to and take the elevators between gates A15 and A16 down to the tunnel - about 2 minutes
- Walk through the tunnel - about 5 minutes
- Go through the automated passport gates in B, no line at any of the gates, then to B33 - about 3 minutes
This may have been a couple of minutes faster provided that the A non-Schengen to A Schengen gates were operational when I got there. Overall, this is probably the second easiest transfer I've done in FRA after my A34 to Z58 connection using the passport control at A26 a few years ago (see my post
here).
