NandiniFlew with Lufthansa-Aug 2026

Worth paying for the extra legroom in economy. The regular economy seating in UA is too cramped for a long haul flight

Verified travelerFlew with Lufthansa-Jul 2026

Our gate at terminal J was very crowded and seating is extremely limited. Security check was quick and smooth. They only ask to remove laptops and tablets. Liquids can remain in your carry-on if you don't check them. As usual, allow plenty of time to get through bag check and security - 3 hours like they recommend.

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.

GabrielFlew with Condor-Jun 2026

Bring your own food, show up a couple hours early and be prepared.

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.

KarenFlew with Lufthansa-Jul 2026

I wish I'd know how big the airport was so I couldn't have booked assistance since I've got asthma. It was not good rushing through in the heat trying to get to the gate in an unformilliar airport.

RobertFlew with United Airlines-Jun 2026

Be prepared to pay for luggage when you buy your ticket and be charged again at the terminal.

Verified travelerFlew with United Airlines-Apr 2026

Except for food, I definitely recommend flying Lufthansa. Jut to be better prepared, I would pack food if you take the flight from IAD to Frankfurt.

KenFlew with Lufthansa-May 2026

Get a good blow up seat cushion if traveling in economy

Verified travelerFlew with United Airlines-May 2026

Make sure you have at least 2-3 hours of layover if you have a connecting flight. Avoid JFK terminal 1 as it is always chaotic.

Verified travelerFlew with United Airlines-Apr 2026

Bring your own entertainment. Prepare for cramped seating.

ChristineFlew with Lufthansa-May 2026

The lines at Frankfurt were ridiculously long. Give yourself plenty of time.

Verified travelerFlew with Lufthansa-Jan 2026

Sadly since I never could reschedule that flight I don’t know but maybe when possible allow more than a 2 hour layover if there is a possibility of bad weather.

PawanFlew with Lufthansa-Jan 2026

Food- be specific if you dont want to eat Meat. And the vegetarian choices are really bad. Pack exact 23 KG/ 50 LB or else you have to pay

MichaelFlew with Lufthansa-Mar 2025

Get seats in a back, more chances to get empty seat next to you

Jean-LouisFlew with Lufthansa-Oct 2024

If flying business class look for seats towards the front of aircraft. Sleeper seats are comfortable but nothing like Deltas current Business Class configuration.

Verified travelerFlew with United Airlines-Sep 2024

Be prepared to wait in long line for boarder control. Allow enough time for your layover

FrederickFlew with Lufthansa-Jun 2024

I like American Airlines for international flights. There economy seems more spacious and accommodating. Also, immigration in Frankfurt can be crowded, give yourself plenty of time. I saw several people miss their connecting flights.

Verified travelerFlew with Lufthansa-Aug 2024

The 747-8 had a galley where you could order food and drinks outside the normal schedule. Very convenient if you have an aisle seat.

Verified travelerFlew with Lufthansa-Jul 2024

Your airlines was convent to travel on but should try to go directly through your airlines to avoid extra extra fees and charges by third parties. Can you book flights directly at airport for future flights?

JuliaFlew with United Airlines-Jun 2024

If you are flying out of Terminal B, give yourself plenty of time. There was only one security line for gates 60- and up. Took almost an hour to clear security.

MedaFlew with Lufthansa-Jun 2024

Make sure your passport isn’t expiring within 6 months of your flight. Check in online. And get an e visa

MichaelFlew with Condor-Jun 2024

Bring snacks, make sure you follow luggage guidelines,

CarolFlew with Lufthansa-Jul 2024

Get to airport at least 1.5 hr early.

Verified travelerFlew with Lufthansa-Apr 2024

If you don't have checked luggage, no need to be in a rush to line up. There will be a spot for your little carry-on rollie bag, so relax until the line is down to board the plane.

Verified travelerFlew with United Airlines-Mar 2024

Pay extra for a little better seating. Definitely worth it

Verified travelerFlew with United Airlines-Apr 2024

Lufthansa is very punctual to Frankfurt, the airport is very large and can be confusing.

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.
