🏢 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 Hermès 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.

🏢 Terminal Information
Leipzig–Altenburg Airport (AOC) is a regional airfield located in Nobitz, primarily serving general and corporate aviation. Since the cessation of scheduled commercial flights (historically by Ryanair), the terminal facilities are quiet but functional for private pilots. A key attraction on the airport grounds is the 'Flugwelt Altenburg Nobitz' aviation museum, which displays a collection of historic aircraft including a MiG-21 and a Transall C-160. The museum also features a small café, making it a worthwhile stop for aviation enthusiasts.
