Limousine Transfer at Frankfurt
If I'm correct here, if I'm flying business class to Frankfurt from London to connect to my first class flight, I'll get picked up by a limo on arrival at Frankfurt if my London flight arrives at an apron position. Does this include Z gates? Also, where does the limo drop you off? Thanks in advance.

On a single through ticket, if your LON flight arrives at an apron position you will be picked up at the aircraft, you will be given a choice where you are dropped off, they will usually suggest the F lounge which is most appropriate, it does not include any gate arrivals.

Just to add the answer to another FAQ: one cannot be driven to the FCT, just from there to the plane.

You can be driven to A exit door for a pleasant stroll to FCT

Well, while I like the walk, it is not consistently described as „pleasant“. Some say so, some say so ...

This has never worked for me on separate tickets, so I would say they don't monitor this fantastically well (and, depending on whom you ask, some would say they purposefully don't monitor this at all).

Which I cannot confirm at all. Works pretty well on my London flights on separate tickets, I can second what f4freejun wrote.

Over the last few years, my estimated pick-up rate from apron positions, even on separate tickets, is north of 75 percent, but there were occasions when I didn’t get a car.

If you've never done this before, and think you may not ever fly LH F again, it's probably worth it to make the walk to the FCT for the full F experience.

If his F flight departs from the Z gates, the FCL in B would basically provide the same amenities including the ride to the plane, plus an apron view. At the end of the day it comes down to personal preferences.

Indeed walking is involved anyway, either within the terminal or outside & the distances came be the same.

Yes but passport control at the A exit with auto gates is so easy ^
