Flight from Sacramento to Frankfurt am Main

RoyaFlew with Lufthansa-Jun 2026

Give yourself enough time if you have connecting flight cause emigration takes about 1 hr by itself

Verified travelerFlew with Condor-Aug 2026

Allow extra time for connections in Franfurt. We barely made our connecting flight.

Verified travelerFlew with Condor-Jun 2026

Frankfurt airport was very disappointing. We had a connecting flight and had to go through another round of security where every second bag was set aside for extra inspection. It took 20 minutes to get it done, we almost missed our flight and nobody cared. No air conditioning at the airport and the restrooms were out of toilet paper. Not enough seating at boarding considering the sizes of the planes flying out.

KenFlew with Lufthansa-May 2026

Get a good blow up seat cushion if traveling in economy

Verified travelerFlew with United Airlines-Apr 2026

Bring your own entertainment. Prepare for cramped seating.

MichaelFlew with Condor-Jun 2024

Bring snacks, make sure you follow luggage guidelines,

HelenFlew with Lufthansa-Dec 2023

Board the flight with everyone since they don’t seem to check and the boarding scanning is no longer a scan of your documents. You walk through the gate one person at a time, even the kiddos. Luggage bins were so full. Check it in and don’t forget air tags. That provided great comfort to know your luggage’s proximity.
