Non <-> Non [T1->T2] Transit Terminal Connections at FRA
Hey FTers,
I have a colleague who will be travelling to SVO in a few weeks from YYZ flying DE 2403 to FRA then SU 2307 to SVO. The itinerary is issued by DE and has a connection time of 95 minutes. My understanding of airports at Europe and Frankfurt specifically is that you can transit between concourses and terminals without having to touch immigration (at worst getting a harsh glare from German federal police and passing through a security check).
In theory this is plenty of transit time for FRA since DE wouldn't sell me the itinerary if it goes under MCT for FRA in this circumstance. What's the best way to make the connection?
Safe Travels,
James

Did you or your friend take a minute or two to look at the FRA website ... there's a step-by-step 'connection' guide there?
Also, if you read the first post of this excellent and exhaustive thread https://www.flyertalk.com/forum/luft...on-thread.html you see what's involved.

That being said when I do have to clear immigration at FRA it’s always a breeze (I.e. look at passport, look at me, stamp). Meanwhile at LHR its a game of 22 questions, arrival cards and long queues. Bloody hell!
