I tend to think many people are unfair in assessing this airport. It is very large. All travelers know this. Longer layovers are prudent here. And, there are plenty of very good shops and restaurants to make a layover enjoyable. I got some very good pricing, very, very good on Business Class seats from Austin to Toulouse. The only concern was too short a layover on the return leg from Toulouse to Frankfurt. 50 minutes. So, I signed up for the Frankfurt Airport Gate to Gate Service. It was €85,00, total for my wife and me. I believe up to four (4) can avail themselves of this for the same price. We actually landed at a real gate. The attendant met us as we deplaned. We went down a stairwell next to the gate, onto the tarmac and into a car which took us from 1A to 1Z. We got out of the car and walked up to the Immigration Control, and were expedited through. We then got into a golf cart and sped through, stopping briefly at the US-bound documents check, the onwards to the departure gate. About 25 minutes. We boarded with about 10 minutes to spare. All far cheaper than a couple of nights in Frankfurt due to a missed flight. Earlier, inbound, we had a layover of 1.5 hours and had a very pleasant time in the Lufthansa lounge. A good experience, both ways.
