No more UA agent at FRA lounge. She said go to the gate or the Service Desk at gate 12. (I think I got that right, I’m pretty groggy).
I asked when it ended but not sure if she understood me - she started looking something up in the computer and I didn’t want to wait around.
p.s. The Service Desk was manned when I passed at 7:30am but with a long line

Hopefully you can report before April 3 as I'm connecting in FRA on a UA return flight to the US that day. I have not done connections in FRA in 7 years when I was still flying USAirways and it was a pain then. Finding PZ>0 at booking made me book this connection but I'm really not looking forward to it.

Sorry, I fly EWR-FRA on April 3rd.
I find FRA to be the dreariest airport I connect through. So much so that I usually exit the airport and take a walk instead of remaining in the terminal waiting for my connection.

A -> Z connections are among the easiest and quickest I know. Decent lounges. What is so terrifying w/ FRA connections?

Nothing I am referring to the atmosphere of the airport. I am usually on the early ORD-FRA flight and arriving into FRA anywhere between 5 AM-6 AM I find the terminal depressing. LH lounges are nice but after 6 years of connecting there I don't really care to spend time there. Much prefer the fresh air after spending 7-8 hours on a flight. Found a nice walking route out into the country around the airport.

No not special. It happens LHR, IST, FRA, MAN, SYD, SIN, HKG, GRU, ATH, CAI, KEF, PVG, CDG, PEK etc, but in MUC I have always experienced longer and more detailed questioning. They seem to find the number of stamps in my passport somewhat concerning...
