My flight arrives form EWR to Frankfurt @ 7:30 am and departs 1:30 pm ish continue to Del on A380. What to do for 5.4 hr layover? am I cutting it short for the frankfurt city tour which leaves at 9:30 am for 2 hr tour, will I have enough time to get back an pass through security to see the tour? Or just shower up and pass time in the lounge?
If you want more time in the lounges, you could go to the FCL A/B or FCT from 730 until about 9 on arrival. I would do the tour if you haven't been to Frankfurt but it depends on what you want to do. You could always do the Porsche experience for a couple hours instead.:) |
Quick question... do either of the FCLs at FRA have baths like the FCT, or do they offer showers only?

Excellent. Thanks ^
You may have to ask for them, however, there were no ducks in the bathrooms last week. |

My 12 hour layover all went according to plan as follows:
05:20 - arrive FRA and walk to FCT and let them know I want to rent a Porsche and will be back later 05:45 - begin indulging on breakfast at FCT 06:30 - bath (and pick up rubber ducky) 08:00 - drive Porsche 10:30 - return Porsche and take train towards Frankfurt Hbf 13:00 - arrive back at FCT for second lunch (already ate in the City, but I couldn't help myself) 14:00 - begin sampling whisky bar 14:30 - enjoy the Cigar Lounge along with more whisky 15:30 - enjoy a second bath (and pick up 2nd rubber ducky) 16:45 - time to be driven to Gate Z52 in Mercedes S-Class Very rare that a 12-hour layover could be this enjoyable. :D (Though I passed out for 6 hours on the FRA-ORD flight after having a terrible sleep on the HKG-FRA flight, thanks to a passenger that snored loudly and kept shouting in his sleep during the entire flight. :mad:) |

That's just brilliant. You're giving me ideas!
|
was just able to secure our first flights in LH F for departure in a couple weeks! have flown international F (CX, EY, etc) many times, however this will be a first on LH.
will be doing DFW -> FRA -> CDG, with a layover from 850 to 1625 in FRA. should give us enough time to do the 911 experience around frankfurt (i used to have a 911 C4S but autobahn is a different story than seattle) and spend time in the FCT. thank you all for the insights; we're extremely excited! |
Yesterday I tried the beef fillet at FCL B at lunch time. It was great. I recommend trying it whenever possible.
|
I want to rent a 911 but now i am reconsidering. I went to first class loung had breakfast and they told me avis doesn't open till 7. Between custom and rental issues i wont get into car till 8 at least. My boarding time is 1225 so it would really cut into my fct time especially if i get lost etc. any idea if i can do this later in trip by showing 2 week old F pass? I return to Frankfurt for my flight out but that is in SQ F.
|
Drink Champagne in the lounge until they run out of champagne glasses and they will be forced to use regular wine glass.
Complain afterwards to LH about the lack of champagne glasses in a hope of getting miles. |
Flying GRU-FRA-BCN with one leg in First, and the last in Business.
LH507 lands from GRU usually at 1030. my flight to BCN departs 2320 I have scheduled my Porsche ride for 1200. To do it after breakfast and shower in a FCL As i have a long layover i'm thinking of ading a walking tour in Frankfurt that departs 1400. To do the best use of the porsche ride, lounges/terminal and being able to get to/from Frankfurt Hbf in time. Should i book the porsche ride to as early as possible, or to 1700 the time i thing i will be back from the tour. The car is confirmed, is it dangerous to change the time and lose availability I'm thinking of doing the Rheingau route. What's the best hour for the autobahn? |
