LH check-in at VIE - time limit?

In a few days, I will be flying from VIE to Canada, via FRA. I will be flying on LH on the first segment, and I will be flying on AC on the second segment. I am a Star Alliance Gold member. I will be flying business class, and I will have one checked bag. What is the latest time one can check in, before departure in VIE? I plan to checkin long before that time - but I still want to know that fact.

Thanks. It looks like the bag check-in deadline is 45 minutes.

It looks like there is no change in the deadline, whether ultimate destination is a Schentgen country, or another country (such as Canada or USA).

For some reason, OS kiosk check-in @ VIE would not allow me to print my boarding pass for the AC flight segment in Vienna, not sure if this has changed.

In VIE I was only able to get boarding pass for the first segment only.

I had to get mine check-in and printed @ transfer point(LHR)...

I guess if I online check-in, it will be easier for me to check in the bag - even though I am a Star Alliance Gold member flying business class?

Whether you Star Alliance, God, Silver, Bronze, Black or any other color and no matter what class of service you are flying, having completed online check in gives you, in some cases, more time to drop your luggage since in some airports the check in deadline and luggage drop off deadline are different. In VIE it is the same.

Thanks.

I have just check-in, online.

Is the check-in lane for Star Alliance Golds/business class travellers the same or different than the lane for dropping of my luggage. Or to put it another way, which lane - the Star Alliance Gold/Business class lane or the drop off lane will be faster for me tomorrow?
