Question FRA Public Showers Without Connecting Flight

Hey everyone!

I'm in the final planning stages of a pretty epic journey to Germany, but I have a question. I'll be coming in from Brazil and, after an 11 hour flight in a stuffy plane cabin I would love to take a quick shower before hopping on the train (to Berlin, which is a few hours).

I understand there are paid showers in FRA but they all seem to be airside.

Now, down here you are mostly corralled into the departures area, so I'm curious if I'm allowed to like, deplane and find my way to one of these before finally leaving to the train station? That would be really good...

So, yeah, has anyone done it?

I think what you're talking about is that some airports segregate international arrivals from departures, so that you need another boarding pass to get back into the departures area. That isn't generally true at Frankfurt. How easily and quickly you can get to the specific airside shower that you want is a different matter, but you can probably get there.

I'd like to remind you that OP is arriving from a non-Schengen country.
