Security before Z gate?
Arriving from CFG (LH) into either ASO or AOK (keeps changing). The LH app routing to the gate looks like we have to go through both a passport control and another security check. Is that right? Shouldn’t CDG be considered a “clean” flight?
If we DO have to go through security again, is there a Premium line for Business Class?
Thank you.

If going to ASO (Asosa, Ethiopia) you would exit into the Schengen gates, clear departure immigration, then proceed to the gate. No security is required, unless the flight departs from the C gates which does security before the gate.
If going to AOK (Karpathos, Greece) you would just proceed to the departure gate, as its a Schengen destination. Security should not be required.
But as a side note, none of the airports you listed have direct flights to FRA, whether on LH or other airlines. Are you sure that is correct?

So I'm assuming the journey is CDG-FRA-ASO or CDG-FRA-AOK?

Alright. An arrival from CDG is certainly a clean arrival, as with all Schengen origins. ASO is a Schengen arrival bus gate located by the A gates, no idea what AOK would be.

If you arrive from a Schengen destination into a bus arrival at A (such as ASO), then there is no security go get to the Z gates, only immigration.

I was originally more confused about a flight from Cienfuegos to Frankfurt. Having driven through that town I was more than a little suprised LH had a flight from there...
