They could cooperate, but they don‘t have to and so some just won‘t.

They very last time it was a group of 3, I waited while the immigration officer took all of the passports let them through the door before dealing with mine & then I met them coming back as I was going through the glass door

They quite clearly don’t cooperate or at least some of them don’t, anyway to get back on track, they won’t have been Amex Centurians

Maybe he enjoyed that the three had to do the walk of shame back through the door.

And yes, they weren‘t centurions.

That would be wierd .....

A quick glance at the BP for simple letters F or HON is all that’s required

Quick and simple is not necessarily what the Bundespolizei is famous for.

That does seem to be the case, maybe all these Centurians flooding the F lounges has them confused

If I follow correctly, flying FRA-CDG, if the plane leave from A gate and I decide to go to the FLounge in B, they will drive me to the plane?

No, only C and Z gates and apron positions. No car to A gates.

No unless it’s an outside position which for CDG would be astonishing

If your on an F connection you could go to FCT & be driven to the aircraft

No also you will need to pass immigration to get to B (non-Schengen), and since they can’t do pass control in the B lounge, you will have to walk back to A to re-enter the Schengen area and then walk to your gate.

Or what I posted above already in #98. That was for a flight to TLS, roughly the same as CDG.

Not only passport control to get back to A but you will also have to clear security.

It's been several years since I've used MUC. If I were to fly from MUC to MRS, could I use the F lounge? Do those Schengen flights leave from the T2 satellite area?

Both FCL’s have their own in-house passport control & as MUC terminals have Schengen & non Schengen levels, one above the other, it’s all so easy at MUC & the train between Satellite & Main is so quick now ^

Enjoy the Satellite F lounge it’s one of the best in the World
