Has anyone recently flown out of Frankfurt, maybe even with Qatar Airways? Will be flying BRE-FRA-DOH-BKK soon and was wondering how busy things were at Frankfurt airport at the moment. We have a little over 3 hours from arriving in Frankfurt til our next flight. Should be enough, but haven't flown from Frankfurt in a long time and these seem to be crazy times...

TLDR : Answer Summary

A traveler is inquiring about recent experiences flying out of Frankfurt, specifically with Qatar Airways, as they have a layover of just over three hours. Responses highlight a range of experiences: while some found three hours to be sufficient and noted no recent long wait times, others had negative opinions about Frankfurt Airport's facilities and cleanliness, citing personal experiences including a COVID-19 infection during a layover.

frankfurt airport is a shithole ran by foreign workers, after 10pm they literally close the airport and youre left without any food whatsoever, the only snack machine is out of order.

Absolute joke of an airport + i contracted covid during my layover there, wouldnt recommend, bring your own food

Qatar are a good airline. If your bags go straight through , you have hours to spare.

Bags won't be checked through, I guess, as the flight from Bremen is on a separate ticket.

should still have time, provided first flight isn't delayed. Ask for you bag to be tagged rapid transit, at Bremen. So it's loaded last and comes off first.

Not sure if they do something that outrageously customer-friendly in Germany:-)) But I'll sure ask, thanks for the advice!

I've had this done in many countries. Never been refused. It's just a luggage tag. They should have them at check in 🙏

Habe auch gerade festgestellt, dass ich ins Trudeln gekommen bin, weil laut Flugplan die Ankunftszeit bis Ende Oktober eine halbe Stunde später ist. Habe nun nochmal genau in meine Buchung geguckt, und siehe da, ab November sind es gut 30 Minuten mehr in Frankfurt, also dann 3,5 Stunden.
