Well, I was in FRA several times, traveling on *A. So, I didn't need to change terminals. Yet, the security staff was just idiots. I had to go from LH's terminal to AC's lounge (then back to Terminal B for UA long-haul), and therefore had to go through security checks and passport controls. One-third of the elevators weren't working...no kidding. I also recall many bloggers claiming that FRA was one of the most chaotic mega hubs in the world and should be avoided. Perhaps I came with that mindset and thus was more conscious of its deficiency. MUC is far better but there's no flight options for transiting via there.
CX sells the ticket and therefore will check-through his luggage.
Thanks for the insights.
