Normally I’m doing the easy transfer to *A schengen in T1A...but this time I have a separate ticket on a Finnnair flight out of T2D. I’ve never actually been to FRA T2 in all my years.

it seems on arrival I clear customs (I have the biometric registration for the fast lanes) and board the Skyline airtrain. Seems easy enough, just never done it.

part that is unclear...can I board airside (and schengen -side)...and then exit the skyline in T2D still airside (secure) and in schengen and go straight to the gate? Or is there any extra security still just from boarding the train?

ive got 1:30 to connect, assuming arrival is on-time.

thx

The Skyline is “unclean” whether you ride in the Schengen or non-Schengen carriage. Security in T2 is by the gate in any case. Directions on FRA Airport app suggest you go through passport control (I assume this is what you mean by ‘customs’) on arrival in T2 if you are flying to a Schengen destination.
