[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We had a 45 minute layover in Frankfurt over the Christmas holiday. I was SUPER stressed about it but it was all ok. Yes, you will have to go through immigration (but not customs) in Brussels if you are coming from the US and going to an EU country. [b]You will also have to do it on the way back, which makes no sense, but that's how it works.[/b][/quote] They do the exit passport control so that the airports in the Schengen area can have fully separated Schengen/non-Schengen parts of the airport. That way they can allow connections without entering the country, say DC-Paris-India. You stay in the non-Schengen part of the airport and never enter France. In order to do that structure though they have to clear everyone who enters the non-Schengen part of the airport. That's also why you can check bags all the way to final destination and not have to pick them up and re-check them like you do in the US. [/quote]
