Thanks. It is also my understanding that only LH is offering a service in French.

Hi all! Chiming in for your great advice once again.
I’ve an upcoming connection at FRA that sees me (as of now) connecting from gate C06A (non-clean, non-Schengen arrival) to A30 (Schengen departure) in a 1 hour connection.
I’ve just plugged in that journey into the “Airports Maps” tool on the app and it shows a 48 minute estimated time to complete that connection, which is fine. However, it tells me to take the Skytrain (which I don’t have a problem with). Would this be the most appropriate route to take? Just want to have a plan if the connection will be this tight (and from my previous FRA security experiences, 30 minute waiting isn’t uncommon in the morning).
Thankfully pleantly of further flight options if i miss my booked flight but of course would like to make what I’ve booked.
Thanks!

FRA is relatively familiar to me but have only come in via AC840 (YVR) a couple times. Coming in on Tuesday.
Does anyone know what gate(s) this typically comes into or a place online one can check history over the last week or two?
I will be outbound to HAM within 90 minutes. I have enough time but am trying to squeeze in a change of clothes in a lounge and want to plan my steps so to speak.

Is your arrival actually non-clean? If you are on a clean arrival that happens to get a C gate, I would look for help from LH to avoid security on a connection that tight. If you are in fact arriving non-clean, that will definitely be a tight connection. Not sure the current best way to get out of C, but anything that involves transfer security is a hassle.

I have done the same connection many times (arriving in B non-Schengen, connecting from A Schengen) but I still don’t know what the official or the quickest route is. I suggest you go through passport control in B, go down a short escalator and follow the corridor until just before you enter the public area, turn sharp left through security, walk passed gates B10-13 to the elevator which takes you down to the transfer tunnel following the signs for A gates. Take the elevator at the other end and you come out between gates A15 and A17. The Business Lounge is between gate A13 and the duty-free shop. The Senator/*G Lounge is on the way to gate A50.
You can also go landside without turning sharp left at the end of the corridor and go through security into A (this is the route suggested by FRA Airport app which likes to take you close to as many shops as possible!) but the last time I did it I regretted as the priority security queue was much longer than in B.

On two recent EDI arrivals we had a finger on Z! Just when I thought my connection was toast as well, 40 min delay inbound and a very short walk to the A Gates for my connecting flight.
Also had a very amusing driver who when faced with a very rude Polak who refused to move down the bus after being asked numerous times, and by other pax in Polish (SEN tags on of course no Stars spotted-LEGACY) did not open that door when we arrived to B, leaving him to exit last through the forward door. Polak's behaviour was ridiculous. High 5 to the Driver.

This picture was made in the public area. Why does gate C1 exist before security?
What is the history of this gate? Is gate C1 an afterthought (originally not planned, but later created because of demand/need for another gate)?
Also, what's up with the perpetual stripped ceilings at FRA?

The lower C gates predate the higher C gates (C13-16) which opened around 2008 and the extension to the A/Z pier which opened in 2012. Some non-Schengen flights used to depart from the lower C gates regularly and I remember walking along the long dark corridor before it was widened and thinking I might have got lost on the way to the departure gate of my flight to MAN. They are still used and the last time I arrived at C4 was also from MAN. There used to be a United Club by the lower C gates before it was closed possibly about the same time when the upper C gates opened.
I think C1 is used as a departure point for a bus sightseeing tour of the airport and hence is in Schengen.
Regarding your comment about the ceiling here are some photos of what might be behind the strips taken while the area connecting the old Z pier with the atrium was being built.
And FRA is not the only airport with stripped ceilings as you will see from this photo taken recently at AMS.
But some parts of FRA do not have stripped ceilings.

So I guess the gate has its own security setup, or it is one of those famous dual-function gates that FRA has (like B19/B20) that can be assigned different roles, and in case of a flight, pax would actually enter the gate from the other side (not pictured here) after passing through the security checkpoint for gates C.
While we're at it, 2 more observations about the EU's continental *A hub:
* The security checkpoint between SkyLine A/Z station and the A/Z gates needs more patronage, I'm afraid they will close it if I continue to be the only pax there every time I use it
* The maps that both FRAPORT and LH publish drive me nuts. For example, not one map has the A-B tunnel right:
FRAPORT shows no border between the tunnel and higher B non-Schengen gates.
LH shows the same, tunnel lies after border control.
If you look closely you can see that both maps have more errors in common - for example, the FRAPORT somehow shows the A/Z SkyLine station as an extension to the B gates, while LH gets the location right but shows the station on the level of the Z-gates - up to the point that I start wondering if these are actual errors or rather some kind of "security through obscurity" policy they apply.
In any case, I did a walking tour of FRA the very first time I got there to get a grasp on the airport, as the maps made me more confused, especially when reading them in conjunction with the reference posts in the beginning of this thread (which are at least correct).

Yes, it makes sense if they use it for the tours, however, note that there was actually a Condor flight departing from that gate (see screen above person). Except if they somehow use Condor branding to accent the leisure aspect of the airport tour, can't recall exactly what destination was on the screen.
So I guess the gate has its own security setup, or it is one of those famous dual-function gates that FRA has (like B19/B20) that can be assigned different roles, and in case of a flight, pax would actually enter the gate from the other side (not pictured here) after passing through the security checkpoint for gates C.

On Apple Maps you can see a Condor aircraft parked possibly at C4.
On Google Maps an Etihad aircraft is parked in the same position with a Condor aircraft taxing away.

As I wrote in the first post I haven't found an accurate map of Frankfurt Airport. The map on FRA Airport app is probably more accurate than others but it has its quirks.
I'm not sure if you can get off the Skyline train in A concourse since both D/E and B stops are landside. You need a BP to get off in Z concourse.

You can travel from SkyLine Station B to SkyLine Station A/Z with a BP for A. When leaving the train, you go down one level and arrive on the Z floor, where you will also find a small security checkpoint for A. After passing that checkpoint, you go down one more level and you arrive in A near A16 and the entrance to the A-B tunnel. (Edit: note this is all from the perspective of someone sitting in the landside SkyLine carriage).
That's the SkyLine A security checkpoint where I never see anybody else btw, I wasn't talking about the busy checkpoint just next to the mandatory walk-through Duty Free store.

I got an hour and ten minutes non-Schengen international to non-Schengen international transfer from B20A to Z20 (both are Lufthansa flights on the same ticket).
Is there a way to use the tunnel for this transfer? Or, is the train the only or the best way?
Thanks
Is there a way to use the tunnel for this transfer? Or, is the train the only or the best way?
Thanks

If you are arriving on a longhaul flight at B20A ask a LH employee at the end of the jetbridge if there is a better way to get to your departure gate. There have been reports of arrangements to expedite transfers of passengers with tight connections.
