Back to Back FRA: Arguably as fool proof and easy as MAD. Landed Gate E5. Was off the plane, two lefts. Security lane and back at gate in sub 3 mins. No immigration or customs.

Upper Deck: It is blocked for all flights. Training in the back half and flights double crewed for both pilots and cabin crew and the spare set is resting/training up there on the other direction. No pax allowed up.

First: This is blocked on all flights due to extra cabin crew required if it’s open (I presume for manual safety demo especially). I was able to look in flight.

Loads: It is limited to A320 load in case of swap. All 44 Club seats sold (that’s 11 rows on a A320) so presumably due to that Economy is capped at 114 seats.

as a data point:

same experience here.

landed at E2. one escalator upstairs once right, 20 yards to walk. I was at the boarding gate when before the last pax deplaned.
