Miles & More (Lufthansa, Austrian, Swiss, and other partners) - Do any Lufthansa FRA passengers know about this?

I'm arriving early next Wednesday on LH/ANA's Code-shared 787 flight (Termainl 1B w. *A Priority checked luggage). The arrival time averages around 6:05 a.m. This time requires some careful planning for my rail connection as there is almost an hour gap between trains going to my destination from 6:48 to 7:37 a.m. Would some experienced FTers who know how long it takes from gate to platform kindly give me an idea of what to expect? This is to arrange a ticket in advance, the departure time of which is fixed. Also, I'm being met when I get off the train at my destination and don't want to make my hosts wait for an hour.
Thanks.

The train platforms are right below the terminal, so very rapid transfer once you are landside. But if you get a bus gate on arrival at FRA (unlikely with longhaul 787 but you never know) it can take rather a long time to deplane, navigate to terminal, and exit. That would put your connection at risk.

The long distance train platforms are not below the terminal but across a pedestrian bridge between the Sheraton and the Hilton. Although NH203 seems to arrive early most days (at B42 gate) you will have to go through passport control before collecting checked baggage. As there are quite a few longhaul arrivals that time of the morning lines at passport control could be long. Arriving at 6:05am and catching a train at 6:48am seems too risky.

If the flight arrives at 5:23am or 5:25am as it did during the last couple of days it's a different story but you cannot count on the flight arriving 45 mins early.

Thanks for all that. Looks like the only chioce is to buy a Standard ticket for the 7:37 train and skip the Savings fare for another time. Then I can catch an earlier train if situation stays the way you said.

Please continue to follow this thread in the Miles and More Forum (which includes LH).

Of course without any checked in luggage :D

And without having to clear passport control as the OP has to do... ;)

B28 to platforms takes me 10 mins.
However automated immigration machines are currently all out of order again, so add some minutes for immigration.

Last week it was averaging 30 minutes at FRA passport control on Tue And Wed mornings. automated machines broken.
