Flights from North America to Frankfurt: the best tips from KAYAK users

Insights shared by verified travellers who flew the route from North America to Frankfurt 
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.
CarlFlew with Air Canada-Aug 2026
Make sure you bring a sweater in case the plane is chilly although they do provide you with a blanket.
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
Verified travelerFlew with Lufthansa-Dec 2024
Don't buy flights that are so close to each other because if one is late the rest will be all about running to the next gate. I didn't even get to use the bathroom in any of the airports or take a moment because was runny from flight to gate for the duration of the whole trip (after Vancouver).
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-Sept 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.
RobertFlew with Air Canada-Jun 2024
Toronto airport doesn’t list a gate 65 but it does exist (check in at gate 67). Fine flight. Just not comfortable at all.
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.

Clean modern comfortable. Food could have been better, I only ate breakfast I wish they wouldn’t wake sleeping passengers who would rather sleep through dinner. No tea or coffee for breakfast

Clean modern comfortable. Food could have been better, I only ate breakfast I wish they wouldn’t wake sleeping passengers who would rather sleep through dinner. No tea or coffee for breakfast

The flight crew was phenominal! We couldn't have asked for any better. They were experienced professionals.

Awesome! Was impressed with the hospitality and the thoughtful services. The cabin attendants were superb.

Good flight. Fiod was ready a bit late hence a hurry to finish before landing. Excellent crew and service

Great to have actual hot tastey meal on a flight. Well done

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

They made me check my carry on even though there was room We un boarded in a strange way but overall it was good

In general good, but the machine seems to be long in operation and some functions were restricted as e. g. Adjusting of seats.

The overall operation needs to be improved. The in-flight services took forever and sometimes ran out of options.

Staff and flight attendants were very polite. Flight was smooth. My seat on the plane was a bit broken so it would not stay in upright position but it was fine for the most part.

Lufthansa automatically rebooked my wife and I when weather dalays interrupted scheduled flights, then got us adjacent seats.

Agents at gate were not immediately available to solve problems and once they did they didn’t fix all the fight connections

We used Kayak to reserve our tickets and specifically checked the luggage option which was a more expensive option. When we arrived at the terminal we had to pay an extra $90 per suitcase for the three passengers. This has been a pattern for the past 3 years. Why charge for a more expensive luggage option, and the ticket price not include luggage?

The service was very good and the flight was super smooth. The seats could have been more comfortable for the price.

Flight cancelled instead of leaving Friday am now, maybe, leaving Sunday

one of the flight attendants on the Dallas to frankfurt leg was somewhat rude..

United has maintenance issues and can then never recover. No operations ability and simple issues always turn into multiple hours long cascading delays. Worst airline on earth.

Check in was chaotic with only one counter for business class and first class. The luggage conveyor belt at JFK airport was broken so the flight departure was delayed which made the flight stressful as I had a tight connection. Although the captain said they could make up the delay, they didn’t do so.

Friendliest Flight Attendant I’ve seen since I flew on Southwest Airlines. The whole trip was outstanding…and arrived Early!

Food was bad, and they used plastic for everything. For the amount we spent, it felt cheap and as if they were doing us a favor. They need to focus on true user delight, like other airlines such as Emirates, Cathay Pacific, and KLM do, and go above and beyond in terms of cabin facilities and passenger amenities (Earbuds, pillows, blankets were just cheap and completely useless)

Good but I don’t received my bags yet is been 5days still no update

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

We upgraded to business class. First time on Air Canada business class and they ran out of the better prawn dinner and we got chicken. Beds not as good as on Quantas

Terrible customer service at gate in Frankfurt. We were promised a shuttle to connecting flight and a wheelchair at the gate. Neither happened. Gate agent told us to go away to the service center. Zero help. Rude.

Personnel was very polite! Food from Frankfurt to Vancouver was very good!

lufthansa flights are consistently fully booked and they strongly discourage carry-on luggage, making many passengers gate check

The flight had to return due to maintenance issues and then was cancelled

Flight was in business class on an older Lufthansa 747. Business class seats definitely old style. Flight attendants were a little curt but attentive. Movie choices did not include anything that would be considered new releases.

Our return trips from Lisbon to Vancouver were the worst flights I have EVER been on. Our seats from Frankfurt to Vancouver were most uncomfortable. The 'table ' was not only dirty but broken. My headrest ' support' too was broken, leaving a spot where a broken attachment poked at your head. My food was the worst food I have ever had on any flight. Staff....they all looked and acted as though they hated their jobs!! The Calgary to Vancouver wasnt much better. We had NO services even though we were told of complimentary beverages etc.. That didnt happen. I asked for window seats, assured by the ticket agent I was given a window seat...NOT. Please dont make me go on. Our trip from Vancouver TO Madrid was great......so we were most discouraged at the events of our return trip.

The flight on time, flawless check in and boarding process, the crew was very friendly.

It is ridiculous that Lufthansa weighs your carry-on bags. It's also ridiculous how strict they are about the 50 pound rule when you're flying overseas for nearly 3 weeks. The reality is, that if you book a business or first class ticket you get a $70 luggage allowance. It's bullshit that it's not about safety. It's not about regulation. It's about money. And that pisses me off. Furthermore, under price, which I assume was the travel consolidator for my ticket sold me some bullshit ticket that did not include to check luggage. What a bunch of nonsense. That's a scam. There shouldn't even be a ticket offered to Europe without checked luggage. I don't know how most people are, but now I'm gonna be very skeptical about using KAYAK again and flying Lufthansa. I think maybe it's best I just booked with the airline directly.

Crrew great. Seating space getting worse that worse. Food awful

Flight was delayed by 40min and when we eventually boarded, there was a mad scramble to save time. We were told no hand luggage would be accepted and it must be checked in. I was on a connect flight so wanted my hand luggage with me for the next flight. They were so rude at the gate and didn’t want to let me take my cabin-approved bag on board. I had to go buy a bag and transfer the essentials to take into the double connect flight. Once I was on board I saw there was ample space in overhead bins. I asked to go fetch my bag which was literally outside the aircraft in the walkway. That was not allowed. On board, Lufthansa is actually a low-cost airline for continental flights. Buy your own snacks. This surprised me because they are part of Star Alliance Airlines and on my domestic flight with SAA I received a drink and a snack box with sandwich and dried fruit on a 55min flight. The seat pitch on Lufthansa is also smaller than for the Middle Eastern and Asian airlines so comfort was not great for me who is 1,85cm tall. The third connection with SAA was a dream - friendly staff, quick and easy boarding and overall pleasant experience.

Staff was good on flight - helpful and pleasant. Food was good too. Bathroom situation not good - long waits even though we were in Premium Economy. Transit from previous flight was horrendous in Frankfurt! Aircraft taxied forever after landing, bus ride from plane to airport building was forever, then had to take train to Terminal Z, had to walk miles to get to Security Check, lines were unbelievably long, then further walking to gate. Barely made it even though I had a stopover of 1 hour and 40 minutes!

In business on the top-deck of an overnight transatlantic flight. A family with uncontrolled young children were there too. All night they were running around up and down the walkway while squealing . . .

Lufthansa was great, out of my own financial limitations I had to be in economy, it’s really tough on my back for long haul flights

Aircraft felt very old and business class was not as nice as on other airlines. Also 3 of the 4 flights on this trip were delayed.

Generally OK. The very worst part was the food we were served (on a special diet) which the crew apologised for and said they took photos for there managers. This flight was using a code-share from Discovery Airways, so perhaps not Lufthansa's direct fault. The general food was far better but definitely not plentiful unlike some other airlines. Otherwise it was a nothing special experience unlike the superb time we had last year for a similar route on Cathay!

Apparently there was a medical emergency after boarding was completed. It took nearly two hours to resolve the situation and get the passengers in the air. I feel the near two hour delay was excessive and should have been handled better (we saw the woman who had the “emergency” walk off the plane without assistance).

The flight was fine, only issue my friend had was how small the seats were, it's a 10 hour flight so it becomes a bit of an issue when you're sort of cramped.

Based on some reviews, my expectations were low. I must say, the experience in Premium Economy was terrific. Comfortable seat, food was good and service was consistently good. I would certainly consider Condor again.

Missed connection due to no fault of our own, rude staff across the board, nearly 4 hrs in line for Condor service desk to ‘rebook’. Paid $5000 just to be lucky enough to get home next day.. will never fly with condor again.

The worst experience with an airline in my 50 years of flying.

The flight left 1.5 hours late but there was no information about the delay. My business class cabinet had two small children who cried much of the trip. Service seemed rushed.

I didn't like breakfast, I prefer plain rolls with butter.

Part of our luggage was lost and we had to wait 48 hours before receiving it. Also someone had to wait in the hotel to get it!!! Frustrating & disappointing

Condor computers constantly shut down. They had to book entire 747 off one computer. Condor does not leave enough time for their own scheduled layovers in Frankfurt. It is not possible to get through customs and to the gate on time. Both trips were a mess. Condor was so bad that they had to book half the people on Lufthansa to complete their journey. I do not recommend Condor for any reason for anyone.

We missed our connecting flight in Frankfurt due to being stuck in the passport line for two hours. Condor said they would not help us because we had a one hour layover which is enough time. When I explained that the line took two hours, they acknowledged that the line is that way but that is the airport and not them. We are now stuck in Frankfurt for two days and it has cost us $500.

The security check between our connecting flights at Frankfurt was a cluster. Horrible quality control with everyone cutting the line. We were in line for over an hour. Condor was nice enough to keep the gate open for us but it was incredibly stressful with two elderly women.
