Airside security check at FRA
When I made a connection af Frankfurt from a Lufthansa filght at one of
the A gates to a United flight at one of the C gates, I had to go through an air side security check point. Or, at least, it never felt like I left the secured areas. Why did they do this? Was it just a ploy to reduce German unemployment, or do passengers arriving on LH present more of a risk? |

Where did you come from? Heathrow, but the check point looked permanent, and anyone going from the A gates to the C gates would have been intercepted. |

Heathrow, but the check point looked permanent, and anyone going from the A gates to the C gates would have been intercepted. It is because you are leaving the schengen area. So if you are travelling from Denmark to USA via FRA you will be checked at FRA (again). Within Schengen, you will only be checked at departure airport. Kennet |

But additional checks for transiting passengers arriving from outside Europe seem to be common on european Airports nowadays as well. These explanations do not quite make sense for me, but who said that the security procedures needed to be logical? Passengers connecting from on LH flight to another LH flight could have gone from one A gate to another A gate, and these paseengers would not have been subjected to the additional secuirty check. Similarly for passengers going from one of the C gates to another C gate. I was not really paying close attention, but it is possible that there was no air side security check for going from C to A. |
