He has no problem making the walk but can someone give me turn by turn simple instructions on how to get there?

Someone may be able to provide those directions (though it would likely depend on the arrival gate, so I'm somewhat skeptical), but I am positive any LH employee will be more than happy to direct your g'father to the FCT.

So its the First class TERMINAL I am telling him to search for?

Guess I will tell him to try. Hopefully someone will be helpful/knowledgeable.

So you think they'd intentionally/negligently direct him to the parking lot? Simply not answer his question?

Interesting.

The first 10 agents I spoke to denied any knowledge and even laughed hysterically when I asked where the FCT was as if I had concocted the existence of a terminal for F pax in my mind.

Finally an agent directed me how to get there and it is not at all easy to get inside, I'm still not sure of the proper way to walk inside coming from the regular terminal, it's simply not designed for connecting passengers.

I'm not even sure what to say to that. That's just embarrassingly poor customer service, especially for pax in F.

I guess they want you to go to the FCL, not to have to shlep out of security and find some way to access the FCT.

Any other way to arrange this?

What does that mean "according to star k"?  Who'd you speak to at star k?  A rabbinical authority?  Or a secretary (who IME usually have no clue what the #@*% they're talking about)?

I'm not privy to what the Kashrus situation is in Germany, but I can tell you that Rabbi Menachem Klein is a Nadvorna Chusid, is the community Rabbi, and seems like an ehrliche yid.  Now, does that make it a reliable Hashgocho?  Not necessarily, however I'm very curious as to if indeed Star K says they're not reliable.  I wouldn't so readily dismiss the Hechsher as unreliable, IMHO it makes more sense to ask the local Shluchim in Frankfurt, as opposed to some folks sitting in Baltimore.
