Saw this on the LH board. Does anyone know if the same is true for UA flights?
Second security checkpoint no longer required for U.S. bound flights
Good news for travelers to the U.S. departing from Frankfurt: starting immediately, you can reach your flight more quickly and conveniently because the second security checkpoint is no longer required for U.S. flights. All Lufthansa flights with destinations to the United States will depart exclusively from level 3 concourse A of Terminal 1 since October 31, 2007.
Passengers changing planes from Schengen Agreement countries* can save time by moving from concourse A on level 2 to level 3 without an additional security checkpoint. Passengers can now also proceed directly to concourse B via the tunnel at concourse A.
Passengers from other countries who arrive at concourses B or C or in Terminal 2 and have a connecting flight to the U.S. will pass through a special checkpoint after arriving from the Skytrain at gate A54.
By implementing these new procedures, we hope to improve services significantly for passengers traveling to the U.S., and to help our passengers get on board faster and more conveniently.
* These include Austria, Belgium, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Iceland, Italy, Luxembourg, The Netherlands, Norway, Portugal, Spain and Sweden.
