Flights from Los Angeles to Frankfurt am Main: the best tips from KAYAK users' own experiences

Insights shared by verified travellers who flew the route from Los Angeles to Frankfurt am Main 
RoyaFlew with Lufthansa-Jun 2026
Give yourself enough time if you have connecting flight cause emigration takes about 1 hr by itself
Verified travelerFlew with Condor-Aug 2026
Allow extra time for connections in Franfurt. We barely made our connecting flight.
Verified travelerFlew with United Airlines-Apr 2026
Bring your own entertainment. Prepare for cramped seating.
HelenFlew with Lufthansa-Dec 2023
Board the flight with everyone since they don’t seem to check and the boarding scanning is no longer a scan of your documents. You walk through the gate one person at a time, even the kiddos. Luggage bins were so full. Check it in and don’t forget air tags. That provided great comfort to know your luggage’s proximity.
