๐ข Terminal Information
Frankfurt Airport operates two main terminals connected by the SkyLine automated people mover running every 2-5 minutes with a 4-minute journey time. Terminal 1 is the larger facility with 103 gates across four concourses: A (gates A1-69), B (gates B1-63), C (gates C1-20), and Z (gates Z11-69). Walking times within Terminal 1 range from 1-12 minutes to the farthest A gates, 4-10 minutes to B gates, 2-7 minutes to C gates, and up to 15 minutes to Z gates. Concourses A and B are connected by a 5-10 minute walkway in the Schengen area.
Terminal 2 features a simpler layout with concourses D and E, primarily serving oneworld, SkyTeam, and independent carriers. Security checkpoints are located in each concourse with Fast Track lanes available, plus innovative walk-through scanners allowing passengers to keep jackets and metal objects on. Immigration wait times average 25 minutes for non-Schengen arrivals, while customs is typically instantaneous for 'nothing to declare' passengers. Current security wait times average 5 minutes.
Both terminals offer extensive amenities including multiple Lufthansa lounges in Terminal 1 (Business, Senator, and First Class), Primeclass Lounge in Terminal 2's Concourse E, diverse dining from Hausmann's German cuisine to Little Italy, luxury shopping including Hermรจs and Burberry, and family facilities with Kid's World in Terminal 2 featuring play areas and gaming zones. The airport operates 24/7 with the SkyLine running 5:00-22:00, requiring alternative shuttle buses during overnight hours.
๐ Connection Tips
FRA is Lufthansa's main hub. SkyLine connects terminals efficiently. Allow time for Schengen processing.

๐ข Terminal Information
Wangerooge Airport (AGE) in Germany functions as a very small, regional airport, primarily serving the island of Wangerooge in the North Sea. It caters to general aviation, private aircraft, and local air services, with flights often depending on tides and weather conditions. Crucially, the airport *does not host scheduled commercial airlines*, meaning all air travel operates on a non-scheduled basis. Its terminal facilities are extremely rudimentary, typically consisting of a single, basic building or a simple shelter that provides minimal amenities for passenger processing. The layout is minimalist, offering direct access from a small landing strip to a basic waiting area. There are no complex multi-terminal configurations or extensive ground facilities; all operations are conducted within this singular, minimalist setup. Walking times are negligible, typically mere seconds from arrival to aircraft, emphasizing its functional role in providing essential island access.\n\nSecurity procedures at AGE are minimal, consistent with its classification as a small, regional airfield not serving scheduled commercial traffic. Formal security checkpoints with advanced screening equipment are not present. Security is typically a matter of visual checks, adherence to local aviation safety protocols, and direct coordination with pilots or local operators. There are no significant wait times for any checks. As a domestic airfield, there are no immigration or customs facilities on site; these functions would be handled at larger, designated international entry points if applicable. Passengers should expect a highly informal and direct process, reflecting the very low volume of air traffic and the unique operational environment of an island airport.\n\nAmenities at Wangerooge Airport are exceptionally sparse. Passengers should not expect any airline lounges, dedicated dining facilities, or retail shops. Any available provisions would be extremely limited, possibly from a very basic local vendor on the island, and travelers are strongly advised to bring all necessary supplies, including food, water, and personal items. Seating in the waiting area is basic and often outdoors, and very limited. Accessibility features are rudimentary, primarily consisting of ground-level access. Travelers requiring assistance must coordinate thoroughly in advance with their air operator or local contacts. Family facilities, such as children's play areas or dedicated nursing rooms, are entirely absent. The airport's primary purpose is essential island connectivity, not passenger comfort or convenience.
๐ Connection Tips
Allow adequate time for connections. Check with airline for specific requirements.
