Umm...can we just have a list of airlines, like the other airport articles, rather then this huge list of check-in desks.Vancouverguy 22:59, 19 Sep 2003 (UTC)

Yep, you sure can. The wish was granted ;) WhisperToMe 06:28, 13 Nov 2003 (UTC)

I added a picture in January. I can't remember exactly where the tunnel was, but I had a stab at "between Terminals 1 and 2". Anyone who knows better is welcome to correct it. Peter Isotalo 15:25, Apr 19, 2005 (UTC)

[edit] FRA-CDG

Why is there this mention about CDG being in a better position than FRA? If we start comparing FRA wit CDG, then lett's compare it with all other major airports. If not, then someone should delete the paragraph about CDG. I don't see the same comparison in the article CDG with another major airport, highlighting its negative aspects: for example that one terminal simply collapsed (solid building the French have got there!!!). --Arado 09:25, 25 July 2005 (UTC)

[edit] BA

Hi there,

Does British Airways travel the Frankfurt International Airport -> Glasgow International Airport (FRA > GLA) route? Personally, from my own view, I don't think they do. Kilo-Lima 20:00, 22 October 2005 (UTC)

Yes they do, not a direct flight though (one stop, their website doesn't say where) - BsL 03:41, 10 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] History

The so-called history-part of this article is very short and has major gaps as for example the demonstrations before and during the building of runway west are not mentioned at all. My english is unfortunatly too bad to contribute. :-(

[edit] Concourse Distinctions

I propose these be removed, as they are woefully inaccurate. Almost all US LH flights, and all OS flights are from concourse B, not A. More to the point, these shift around from flight to flight, e.g. I flew to Riga last week out of Concourse B, returning to Concourse C. I think the only accurate distinction that can be made is between carriers in Terminal 1 and Terminal 2. --kjd 20:54, 8 October 2006 (UTC)
