Would you book a connection through FRA on purpose over a tighter routing?

UpgradeQueen_MariaOPApr 27

I am comparing two itineraries and one of them connects through Frankfurt Airport with a longer stop.

The appeal is efficient rail links plus strong alliance connections. The hesitation is passport control bottlenecks.

Would you intentionally route through Frankfurt if the total trip time was a bit longer but the layover quality looked much better?

I would absolutely choose FRA on purpose if the airport quality meaningfully lowers the chance of a chaotic connection day.

The best itinerary is not always the shortest one. Sometimes the calmer hub is worth far more than the saved hour on paper.

That said, if passport control bottlenecks is tied to the season or the exact bank of flights you are using, I would model that before committing.

A longer routing only wins when the extra time actually buys comfort, flexibility, or a better recovery window.
