CaraFlew with Lufthansa-Jun 2026
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!
Verified travelerFlew with Lufthansa-Aug 2026
please don’t recline all the way back without notifying and getting approval from person behind you
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.
Verified travelerFlew with Air Canada-Sept 2024
Bring a neck ring pillow for international flights. For the comfort and sleep of other customers, please be considerate and keep the window covers closed once the plane is in the air and at least until 30 minutes before landing.
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-Sept 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.
Verified travelerFlew with Air Canada-Jul 2024
if your final destination is the usa, check your luggage- it will save a lot of time in the Montreal airport get water just before your board.
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
LarryFlew with Condor-Aug 2024
It's hard to find gluten free food in Frankfurt airport, so bring food with you. Be prepared for the smoke lounges that "leak" out smoke into the hallways - there's frequently, at least a faint smell, of cigarette smoke.
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.
Verified travelerFlew with Air Canada-Mar 2024
If you’ve never been to the Frankfurt airport get there early. It’s huge and there is a lot of walking.
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.

They ran out of the second choice of food was stuck with fish

The flight arrived on time. 2×2 seating meant no one needed to sit in the middle. This was a connectibf flight from Singapore and required going to 3 counters in different levels to check a golf bag

I was in a middle seat where I felt a bit too cramped otherwise the trip was good

Airline should consider adding a small meal at the last leg of the flight, right now there is 7 hours of no meal break.

So happy I flew with Singapore Airlines. The customer service is top notch. I am terrified of flying and the staff made me feel so at ease. Will only fly Singapore internationally moving forward.

I very much liked and appreciated the service on board. The seating arrangement in Business feels uncomfortable. It's not made for tall people, in any case.

I was a member of Krisflyer for ten years, but my last flight to Tokyo was a disaster. I had to stand in line for four hours before check-in because they were late opening the counter, and there were more than 50 people behind me. The plane was extremely small, and the food could have been better. When I dropped off my stroller before boarding the plane, I expected to receive it upon exiting for my transfer. However, they returned the stroller to the checked baggage because they said I was late getting off the plane. Of course, I was late; they assigned me a seat at the back of the aircraft, and I was traveling with a baby! The worst part was when I arrived in Jakarta. They damaged my stroller and refused to approve my claim, so I had to pay for stroller rental because of the damage they caused. I don’t know what happened to Singapore Airlines, but I felt like I was flying with a budget airline.

plus: service and personal assistance minus: online check-in did not work

I requested an aisle seat and got a middle seat The flight gate was changed and the flight was delayed

It was a great flight Food was great Crew was spectacular

Not the greatest. The staff was unpleasant and we had delays. The boarding was done out of order.

ok, butt flght was delyed for 2,5h from Frankfurt, and next Flight to Columbuse same

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

Boarding was conducted in a confusing manner as no boarding group was displayed on my boarding pass and group calls were inaudible. Flight was delayed due to oil issues and loading issues. Had to wait almost 45 minutes for bags at baggage claim.

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.

For my wife to be seated with our two children they put them in the last row on the plane where the seats don’t recline very much. The seats in front of them reclined fully which is basically in the lap of the last row which made it difficult to eat, move or watch the entertainment provided.

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 snack at the end was an improvement of previous flights of a year ago . crew were responsive and gave good service

I was rescheduled when I missed my flight due to border clearance issue

Ditto to what i said earlier. I thought my earlier response included this flight too!

The flight was clean, boarded on time, provided priority boarding since I checked in my carry on. The food was ok, it could have been better. The worst experience was one of the flight attendant talking rudely to the passengers sitting in the seat in front of me. Those passengers spoke broken English and might not have had enough experience flying, but that is no ground for any disrespect. It is the attendant’s job to be respectful to all passengers, of course if someone misbehaves with them. I don’t think this couple misbehaved with anyone on the flight.

The advance business class boarding got us onto the bus to the plane slightly ahead of the economy class but all of us scrambled to climb the stairs onto the plane together. Business class on this flight consisted of only an empty seat between three seats economy style seats. Good thing it was a short 1hr 20 min flight.

I did not like ANYTHING about Discover....see my previous comments regarding our trip. I will do everything possible never to fly with Discover again!!!

The crew and food were very good. The plane was dirty..

Great experience. Crew were great. Boarding was smooth. Would request some Christian Worship for the entertainment.

The pillow are always a little less than desired in terms of comfort. Really need to bring my own “neck ring” pillow for international flights. People should also be instructed to leave the window covers closed once in the air and until 30 minutes before landing.

First time customer, like your airline very much would fly with you again.

That was the last time I booked Kayak. The connecting flight got canceled and the trouble shooting terrible. Next times, I will book the airlines directly. Good bye

I want to highlight the crew members and their excellent work and professionalism. They work hard to make a long trip the most comfortable as possible, the food and drinks they offer are pretty good. And they are always asking if you need something else. I have had experiences with other airlines where you have to basically beg for a bottle of water. This is not the case. Highly recommended!!!

Way too crampled. Charge more and put in less seats.

I was first assigned a seat that could not recline fully and was at the back of the craft. I was not able to select another seat during check-in even when opting to pay for selecting a different seat. I had to contact the airline and spent 25min with a chatbot and was then transferred to an agent who was very helpful and could change my seat (free of charge). The entire process took me one hour. If I happened to not have that hour available this would have been a problem. And that was only to check in. The next problem is that the airport lounge I had access to is located landside. How strange. So it means that you need to allow time for security check and passport control and boarding time when leaving the lounge, which makes it almost pointless having lounge access unless you have a very long layover or arrive 5 hours before the flight. Inflight service was okay. But not up to par with the likes of QA, SQ or CX, even though the price is the same or even more. It was much better than the domestic flight where Lufthansa is actually a low-cost airline with legacy airline prices.

One of the best airliner in the world But airport was very poor

Very bad 3 times change the gate and too much delay...

the blanket was great and pillow helped. really need a toothpick packed with meals

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.

There was no entertainment or food service (short flight). The flight was delayed more than an hour.

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.

It was a short flight, maybe an hour long. Everything was handled great.

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.

Wish the plane actually landed at a gate instead of on the tarmac and have the passengers board very slow buses.

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.

Nice flight over the alps with spectacular views. Rome airport has good signage including on how to get into the city on the Leonardo express.
