I am ending my journey in FRA, most probably A gates. I am meeting colleagues arriving at T2 then we take a taxi to downtown. What is faster way to get to T2? Bus or Skyline train?

It's a crapshoot. Taking the bus means shorter walking distances. But it runs slightly less frequently than the Skyline.

Looks like I will likely be flying into FRA from DEN via a B##A gate (very rarely a Z arrival). I'll then catch a PRG flight from "A" gate. Do I understand correctly that to get from a B##A gate to an A gate I'll need to pass through passport control and security, and can NOT use the tunnel?

November of last year I barely made my flight as I came into B23A and once I got to what I assume to be the same passport control area I would go again, it was absolutely packed, with all stations being staffed and absolute chaos of lines (we were standing all the way back to the steps/elevators). I'm a bit worried of running into this again - curious if there might be a better route to get to A (train vs. tunnel?).

Thanks - Typically It seems to arrive between B20-B26A. Do you happen to know where I would run into passport control, roughly? Is there just the one location?

If the passport control area in the center of B concourse is crowded walk down the passage on the right of the passport checkpoints which should take you to the Skyline platform. Take the Skyline shuttle to Z and go through transfer security, go down two floors and go through passport control into A.

Hard to tell as it depends on other flights arriving just before yours. If passport control in B looks as if there will be a long wait you can take the Skyline to Z. Fraport App includes the "Current Waiting Period" feature but I don't know how accurate the information is.

Flying from AMS-FRA-DFW with a 1hr layover, and was curious if it was enough time to make the short walk to the FCT? I have read countless pages on the FCT, and just came across this thread, so it is have been discussed prior my apologies. It is a morning flight and I am assuming that if the flight is on time I can pull it off. AMS-FRA in J and FRA-DFW in F.

BTW I didn’t realise FRA-DFW still had F. When is your flight?

Since the alternative would be to go through passport control in A/Z and a walk to the departure gate I think leaving the terminal and walking to the FCT is a better option provided you don’t expect more than a quick drink before being driven to your flight.

Hi,
I'm arriving at Frankfurt from Singapore on LH779 (probably Pier Z), and connecting on LH1364 (Pier B Schengen) to Krakow. Travelling on F, and with about 2 hrs layover, do I have time to go to FCT? If not, which lounge would be best for me to visit? Thanks!

LH779 seems to arrive at a C gate on some days. In that case I’d go through passport control and walk to the FCT to avoid having to go through security in the main terminal.
