Also, any worry about security screening? I believe I arrive "clean" from USA, correct?
Yes Z gates are above A gates so if you are lucky you won’t have to walk very far.
If you arrive at a Z gate you arrive clean and there’s no security check. Bus arrival is a little tricky. United’s flight status mentions the remote stand number, e.g. V168, rather than the arrival (bus) gate. There are bus gates called AEUW, which are used for clean non-Schengen arrivals such as US and UK. But unfortunately United does not tell us which bus gates are used.
More info if you are interested in Connecting in Frankfurt thread in the LH forum, especially
this post about AEUW.
