Destinations without Limo from FCL
Does anybody know if there are still destinations (used to be BSL, all French AirPorts and I think BRU?) in Schengen zone that might get addl passport control and therefore do not get a limo out of FCL A?

I also have a flight to BRU soon after arriving in F from LAX. I would normally just use FCL A for a shower and then walk to my gate. As I may not be familiar with FRA as others, would this be my best option for a 2-hour layover?

I would walk to the FCT & they will then drive you to the BRU flight, it’s an easy walk & no Cobus

Thanks, while I have walked to FCT before it had always been to connect to a F long-haul flight. I didn't realize I could use FCT to depart for the connecting European flight. If so, I may just do that if my LAX flight arrives early enough.

If they use A69 or so as a bus gate, the walk to the FCT is as close as to the gate from FCL A....

You can use the FCT on any through single ticket in F.

They felt compelled to alter the rules from a departure only terminal due to the complexities of connections at FRA, so if it’s easier for pax to walk to the FCT, they are welcomed.

It isn't the same though, FCT can't be used as an arrival lounge, FCLs can.

Fair enough, good point re arrivals usage only. I was referencing their sameness as a transit lounge on an F ticket. Hence my "...in this regard" qualifier.
