Yesterday, my regional airport (Frankfurt) gave out a warning....for the month of August....if you are arriving and exiting the airport, your bag transfer to the carousel area (pick-up)....will be a 'bit' longer.
Cause? Well....they are prioritizing incoming folks, and transfer-folks (those getting on another flight and flying out of Frankfurt)....will rank higher than those exiting the airport.
What this really means? Once you exit the plane (being a in-Europe flight situation).....you might as well head to a bar in the airport, and sip through a beer for the next sixty minutes.
The thing that I always liked about Frankfurt (before Covid)....you could fly in (say from the states), exit the plane, be out of border-control in 15 minutes, and have your bag off the carousel 15 minutes later. It was an amazing well-oiled-machine that existed.
Now? You probably need to allot 90 to 120 minutes for your exit off the plane and out of the airport.
Cause for this? Summer of 2022 was a mess, with various travelers finding their bag never made it with the connecting flights out of Frankfurt...even if you had two hours of time between flights.
