Always give yourself 2 hours when going through Frankfurt and have your passport ready at all times. You will have to show it multiple times.
Verified travelerFlew with Condor-Jul 2026
Have at least a three hour layover in Frankfurt!
Dora LeighFlew with United Airlines-Jun 2026
Give yourself enough time to get through immigration
divyaFlew with Lufthansa-Jul 2026
Be prepared to walk a lot, up and down the stairs with your baggage. Don’t choose Lufthansa if you’re transit time is less than 3 hours because anything less than 3 hours is not enough especially with kids.
Verified travelerFlew with Condor-Jul 2026
Make sure you have over 2 and a half hours layover or you WILL Not make it through customs in time. Do Not fly on Condor.
OlgaFlew with United Airlines-Mar 2026
Make sure you have close to 2,5 hours between your connecting flights!!!
Verified travelerFlew with Condor-May 2026
Be sure to be there early. Lots of long lines especially for flights to the US from Frankfurt, due to security.
Verified travelerFlew with Condor-May 2026
Condor sucks and Frankfurt is a nightmare get there real early
KEVINFlew with Lufthansa-Dec 2025
Don't buy business class. It"s a relatively short day time flight. and not worth the extra expense. Stick with premium economy.
Verified travelerFlew with Lufthansa-Jan 2026
Dress accordingly the flight was super cold on the way to NY
weronycaFlew with Lufthansa-Jan 2026
Have longer layover than 1h if Frankfurt is your transit city
JulieFlew with British Airways-Nov 2025
Make sure that you verify that if you have a code share flight, that you DOUBLE/TRIPLE CHECK which counter to check in at. I booked a British Airways flight operated by American Airlines. The BA flight counter was closed until an hour prior to my departure, it was really AA that I needed to check in at. The people around the airport are helpful and speak English beautifully so just ask! Also, the security point is IMMEDIATELY before only 2 gates, so keep in mind for buying food/drink. There's also a very relaxing lounge with reclined seats prior to the security checkpoint, it's free/open.
Verified travelerFlew with Lufthansa-Nov 2025
Pack a jacket since you need to deplane in the open to get a shuttle to main airport
ROSSFlew with Lufthansa-Jun 2025
Download the LH Entertainment app before the flight so you can watch content on your personal devices.
Verified travelerFlew with Lufthansa-Apr 2025
Allow lots of extra time at the airport in Frankfurt - get there three hours before your flight instead of two. We barely made the flight with 2 1/2. Expect that your carry on luggage will need to be checked and that you will pay $60-70 per bag.
VijayFlew with Lufthansa-Feb 2025
Be prepared for the running race. The airport is big and confusing. Just follow the boards but not shortcuts.
PGFlew with Condor-Oct 2024
Make sure you have plenty of time to get through the Frankfurt Airport if you are flying internationally.
Verified travelerFlew with Lufthansa-Sep 2024
You need at least 2 hours when connecting at this airport, 50 min like they say, it is not enough.
Verified travelerFlew with Lufthansa-Jun 2024
I built in extra time in case there were train delays. When I arrived in Frankfurt, the trains to Cologne were all delayed but about two hours. I didn't want to risk missing my flight so I added in extra time to get to the airport. That worked great and I ended up with extra time to have a coffee instead of being stressed about delays.
WilliamFlew with United Airlines-Jul 2024
If you’re flying from Frankfurt, I recommend getting a hotel that’s within a 10 mins drive of the airport. Traffic gets wild very quickly
Verified travelerFlew with Lufthansa-Jul 2024
Emirates, Dubai. Qatar, Doha are better airports for transit. Frankfurt could be painful while transitioning between terminals.
Verified travelerFlew with Lufthansa-Aug 2024
Make sure there is more time in between your flights
HeatherFlew with Lufthansa-Aug 2024
They are super strict on carry-on size and weight. I have never seen an airline weigh a carry-on before. If you are flying through Germany, make sure to alott yourself extra time to stand in a giant line for a passport check, even though it was already checked when boarding to Germany (not sure what could have changed with it during the flight!). They had given some of our seats away on our connecting flight because we barely made it to the gate in time for departure.
HenryFlew with United Airlines-Apr 2024
connection took much longer than I expected; need 20 minutes between taking a shuttle bus and pass through custom before you get on your flight
Verified travelerFlew with Lufthansa-Mar 2024
Avoid Frankfurt and O'Hare if you can. Use Amsterdam as your European hub and Minneapolis or Dallas as your hub in middle America.
Verified travelerFlew with Lufthansa-Apr 2024
Take more time than you think you need to get through customs. 2 hours isn’t enough.
Verified travelerFlew with United Airlines-May 2024
Frankfurt airport falls short in customer service and care, particularly during the multiple security checks, making it challenging for travelers to navigate efficiently. With layovers of less than three hours, there’s a significant risk of missing connecting flights due to the airport’s procedures.

One of the restrooms didn’t work. The ones that did never got replenished. Flight attendant just sitting there on their phone. No notification that the bathroom was broken so long lines. Apathetic crew.

One of the restrooms didn’t work. The ones that did never got replenished. Flight attendant just sitting there on their phone. No notification that the bathroom was broken so long lines. Apathetic crew.

Pushing back flight and ultimately cancelling it after multiple changes and hours of delays. Comm were terrible as to what was going on and what options were available.

Even though we arrived early and checked in, for some unexplained reason, our bags were removed from the plane and put on the next flight. It took over 12 hours after arriving to get our bags.

WiFi was not working. Flight was delayed in Paris as luggage needed to be removed from the plane that didn’t match a passenger on board. Upon arrival in Detroit the plane couldn’t get to the gate as the pilot turned onto a runway with construction in progress . We waited to be towed back onto the runway. We were almost an hour late causing many passengers to miss their connecting flights.

Stewardess was not accommodating when I requested a second drink.

Some of the passengers are coming on board with luggage so overstuffed and/or too large that have no business going into the overhead bins.

I am in a wheelchair The gate agent knew exactly how to boarding A wheelchair first also the flight attendant knew exactly what she was doing

The internet that was free was terrible, the turbulence was pretty bad - uncontrollable I know.

My business class seat was inoperable and unable to recline for 10 hour flight.

The crew was very kind and always smiling. The seats were great and I was very comfortable during the flight. The only thing I didn't like was that the lavatories got really dirty at some point during the flight. Other than that my experience was great

Very kind Lufthansa agent somehow gave us all no charge extra business class seats and helped us get home rested and happy.

United was excellent. We had very good experience flying the carrier. Certainly. We will opt to fly them for sure. Lufthansa is out.

There was a little turbulence taking off and landing but mostly it was too late for me to make my connecting flight to Greensboro. Everything else was excellent.

The seats were very nice in premium economy. The service was good. The flight was slightly bumpy. Would have appreciated more updates from the pilots.

The economy seat was much less comfortable for an international flight in terms of recline and moving space when food tray is expanded. Per entertainment, it would be amazing if I could connect my Bluetooth headset or ear phones to the entertainment screen. Or provide in-flight wifi to connect directly from my own device.

Meals were poor and service rendered on return flight was mediocre as compared to the flight we took to Germany earlier where the attendants were more attentive, energetic, and mindful of passengers' needs. Thumbs up to crew of UA 58. Thumbs down to UA 59..

The crew was generally professional. Though one of the crew members seemed to be easily annoyed, the others were fine and helpful. The green olives and almonds snack was really good. A great idea, and nice balance of tastes.

Would've been great if Lufthansa union cockpit pilots didn't strike for 2 days and caused a chaos to my returning plans to USA, and then after rebooking a flight 2 days later tge plane departed 35 min later. So I did not have a good experience.

It was okay, the food was good, but after the landing there was not enough time for luggage and security to catch a connection. It was crowded on board.

Great other than a couple very drunk guys that for a while kept bumping my seat from behind. The staff did their best to control them. Even refused serving them alcohol and allowed the gal sitting next to them to move.

The flight had a 6 hours delay. This should not happen to anyone. Airlines should provide an alternative with no additional costs.

Flying on this airline is nothing short of a full blown circus clown show. On a recent return from my mother’s funeral, my only available choice from IND to PWM was American, which I hesitantly booked as I rarely fly them for many of the following reasons and never will again. I was booked IND-PHL-PWM totaling about six hours. The flight was cancelled due to NE weather. They rebooked me on a two stop flight IND-DFW (Yes DALLAS)-PHL-PWM, still all on the same day. After arriving in DFW, they continually delayed the DFW-PHL flight due to maintenance issues on the arriving flight. Finally it was delayed to the point that my PHL-PWM connection was no longer possible. They then rebooked me thru LGA with the short flight the NEXT DAY to PWM and offered to put me up for the night in NYC (or so I assumed). The flight DFW-LGA was then delayed so much that I asked to be put in an earlier flight with a lessor delay. Throughout this day chats with their AI assistant were useless as were subsequent chats supposedly with a real person(?). Only one customer service agent in DFW was actually helpful and appeared to care. Upon arrival at LGA post midnight, they issued me car and hotel vouchers in Trenton NEW JERSEY at a very old Howard Johnsons ONE HALF HOUR from LGA. The hotel was an $85, 1.5 rated hotel in a very sketchy area of NJ that I would have never voluntarily booked. As I prepared to catch the car back to LGA the next morning I received a text that my flight was cancelled. TWICE IN TWO DAYS. I went to LGA hoping to have AA book me on an earlier Delta flight. The full service line was at least 200 people deep, so I tried to reach a real person agent by phone. After 1/2 hours on hold I gave up and waited for my later LGA-PWM flight. It actually started boarding on-time, but only shortly after announced a maintenance hold. We were told it was nothing serious, just an adjustment to the Captains seat. Only one update was given while we waited 1.5+ hours for a “SEAT ADJUSTMENT”. Can’t forget to mention that on all of these planes the WiFi only worked on two. During that time at least three others flights in my area announced that they were overbooked and were taking volunteers before bumping people. Another flight to ORD announced a gate change and less than five minutes after announced that they were really not changing and announced for everyone to return to that gate. Can’t forget to mention that on all of these planes the WiFi only worked on two.🤡🤡

Paid for wifi but it didn't work once. Seats were incredibly cramped and passengers sitting in front was reclined the entire time and staff did nothing

Delays and cancellations. Mechanics weren’t on site. Replacement plane took hours to arrive although it should have arrived within 90 minutes. Flight back was cancelled. Ended up driving over 12 hours and wasting 3 days between everything.

Flight was delayed multiple times and rerouted to different concourses in the airport because of all of American's delays. App/boarding pass would not update with changed gate information.

Absolutely infuriating. I was flying standby to get home earlier after flying 4 times with American in 6 days. I was #2 on the list with seats near the front and middle, in addition to the 4 first class upgrade seats that came back into the pool. I am a Platinum member, have their card, and they put me in the 2nd to last row in the middle. No loyalty whatsoever and they lost a fan for life. There is reason people have negative comments about American and I am done supporting them.

Horrible - their gate agents do not care and loyalty means nothing to them. Planes are often late and you are left on your own. Oh, and WiFi - good luck!

Awful! We boarded and then sat on the plane for 50 mins before having to deplane due to a maintenance issue which should have been addressed before boarding. Then we had to change terminals as there was no other plane for us at the current terminal. Then we waited another 2 and a half hours to board again only to wait for 50 mins on the plane again for the snacks to be brought from the broken plane. And once we were on the flight we still only got the complimentary cookie and soda or water. No food vouchers provided even though we had waited over 3 hours for our flight.

The seatbelt light was on the whole trip - inconvenient but also unsafe. I was told to keep the window blind down the whole trip though I specifically paid for a window seat to be able to....see out the window. It was also two hours late causing me to miss my connection.

The new seating in BC was a joy. My vegetarian pasta dish was excellent, very creative. The chicken potpie was ..... The crew was extremely focused and impersonal, but everything worked.

This was the worst flight of my life. Economy seat directly behind a premium economy seat with extra recline meant I have about 6 inches between my face and their chair. My seat would not recline at all. I couldn't even use my laptop on the tray table because I had so little room. I was in a casket basically for 10 hours. Completely unacceptable.

Horrible airport ever. We stood in the security check line for more than an hour. It was past boarding time and we were still waiting in line for the security check. With 2 children and a medically ill person we had a very stressful transit.

We missed our connecting flight in Frankfurt do to security and all hell ensued then.we got rebooked to Washington got there round 10 am ish didn't find out till 630 we were rerouted to United!! Then we started getting updates

Too tight connection. Lufthansa staff pulled 12 of us out of passport control that had tight connections and took us about 1/3 mile AWAY from our gates and put us in another slow, long line. Needless to say all of us missed our flights and the Customer “Service” staff was rude and not helpful at all. Was rebooked from a direct flight to one w a 6hr layover. Asked about an other option that was on my app and was told to book it myself online (which would be $300 extra pp!!). Got rebooked again w a tight connection which was also missed. Rebooked into middle seats that didn’t recline for 9 hr flight!! No compensation (and we paid for seats!) Ended up taking 26hrs to get home from Europe to North Carolina! No longer a fan of Lufthansa—2nd time having these kind of issues w them!

The food on this flight was better than what we had getting to Rome. The flight was comfortable and the staff was great. One of the staff members was a stickler about the blankets in the aisle, which I get, but still. Overall, great flight and will fly with them again!

The legroom was lacking and the entertainment system lacked adequate selection of older films. Modern films are generally not very good.

The flight attendants were wonderful - one man put my carry on in the bin for me. Very attentive service. Loved the blanket and pillow waiting for me in economy. Food was excellent which is a surprise given the reputation of any airline food. Wine was fine with the meals. Delighted with the new movies - flight went by very quickly. I would definitely fly Lufthansa again.

My flight was cancelled, but it was not Kayak's fault. Kayak did require me to pay for the ticket twice to two different venders who paid Lufthansa. Kayak/Lufthansa owes me for the first booking I made first was fraudulent on the part of the subcontracting ticket seller. There will be litigation over this issue under the current passenger protection laws.

flight was half full, plenty of empty seats, was able to lie down across 4 seats, food was good, arrived on time

Generally good. Not their fault but the design of the Boeing 747 had seating supports directly in line with my legs. So my legs always had to straddle this support which caused body misallignment. Such poor design from Boeing. There was no USB port for me to charge my phone. The screen touch control was very poor.

Missed this flight. $5000 to rebook next day. Horribly rude staff in Frankfurt. Everyone we encountered was either not helpful or outright mean.

Condor's computers do not work. They do not leave enough time to catch a connecting flight. Condor had to book passengers on a different airline to make their destination. They lost my niece and nephew's luggage. The bathroom had pee all over it before the flight took off.

Awful!! We got stuck in the passport line for two hours. Condor acknowledges that the lines are really long but says it is not their problem and would only rebook us in two days. We are stuck in Frankfurt for two days and it cost us $500. Condor stated that they gave us a 1.5 hour layover which was more than enough time and in the next sentence said, yes we know the lines are a problem.

I used Kayak.com to buy plane tickets, which sent me to Underpricer. Immediately upon buying the tickets I started getting phone calls telling me that my "tickets were not guaranteed" unless I paid more money. I told them that if they've sold me on just the idea of a ticket, and not an actual ticket, then refund my money immediately. We argued, but they eventually said they would do that. They didn't, I refused the charge on my CC, the CC company eventually charged me anyway, and Underpricer still didn't cancel that ticket because I kept getting alerts to get on that flight. In complaining to Underpricer, they insist that it's my fault and that the most they can do is refund the fees. This company is using deceptive practices and harassing people, and the company needs to be banned from Kayak and from doing business in the US.

Premium economy meant only extended legroom and when the passenger in front of me leaned back, I lost the little space I paid for. Food was not great. Movie selection is okay. Feels somewhere between a mainstream and a budget airline.

The jet is quiet but the food is uneatable and the new seats are horrible .One cannot find comfort on them. When do airlines learn that there is a better service for your clients. Go to a flying wing design save fuel offer a human seat where your arm does not interfere with your neighbor . Provide food that tastes good and offer free drinks

Horrible. Another delayed flight. So cramped! Poor food. So many unnecessary announcements.

One of the female flight attendants had an attitude. The snack toward the end was pretty bad. My husband and I were both sick the next two days.

It was freezing cold, the flight delayed and then I got rebooked to a different connecting flight with a four hour waiting time even though I would have easily made my initial connection

Absolutely the worst food I ever had on any flight. Half of passengers simply didn't eat their meals, as I noticed.
