From the latest PPB newsletter on MCT at FRA:

"Kürzung der Mindestumsteigezeiten (MCT) in Frankfurt

Die Lufthansa Mindestumsteigezeit in Frankfurt wurde für Umsteigeverbindungen zwischen Schengen- und Non-Schengen-Ländern im Kontinentalverkehr von 60 auf 45 Minuten gesenkt. Dies gilt auch für Flüge mit Lufthansa Partner-Airlines. Somit gilt eine Mindestumsteigezeit von 60 Minuten nur noch bei Interkontinentalverbindungen (Flugnummern LH400-799)."

Does that make much sense? Schengen transition require an immigration/emmigration procedure on top of the useless security check, intercontinental connections only require an entirely useless security check.

I don't get it ... but then it's FRA.
