I was on a fly-through from Toronto to Helsinki with this as a layover. I had four hours of waiting. It was initially difficult to find out where my next flight was going to be arriving at - the screens might not have even shown Helsinki on there - but after connecting to free wifi, I found my way to the free shuttle, which arrives every couple minutes to take us on a short ride.
Seeing all the inner machinations of the airport made me think of the grace and beauty of Indian art combined with the steely efficiency of an advanced automaton army. That isn't to perpetuate a stereotype or anything; it just was the most amazing looking airport. It was clean, it had the right amount of shine, the early morning arrival and the chilled yet cozy interior reminded me of how much I love life. I may never visit Frankfurt proper, but this airport is just the best one I have ever visited. Forget the kids crying and kicking my seat about the crew pausing their Paw Patrol the sleepless night before, it was a brand new day.
Anyway, enough fawning over an airport. I had to go to gate A to meet the Helsinki flight, and because it is a Schengen country, there was border security. It was a long line, but they had plenty of officers who did their job thoroughly and concisely, yet within good time. I barely had a chance to put my bag down from exhaustion before the line moved and I had to move forward. I still had two hours for my flight, so I took a deserved nap.
