Any idea what the usual connecting time needed for FRA is?
If by any chance I miss the flight due to some reason would Lufthansa be obliged to rebook me on the next flight without any extra fees?
Thanks
If both flights are on one booking Lufthansa will rebook you to the next availlable flight at no cost if you miss your LH-flight!
MCT is 90 mins in your case so 1h40mins is ok (wouldnīt consider it being very tight unless your incoming flight is more than 30 mins late ! )
Just make sure your luggage is labelled through to LYS !!!
For your luggage 1h40mins is plenty of time !!! Your luggage will go through customs at LYS but you will clear immigration at FRA.
Sri Lankan (UL) and Lufthansa (LH) are both in Terminal 1 (UL in section "B" and LH in section "A") !
The distance you have to walk is limited (from outermost corner at "B" to outermost corner at "A" itīs maximum 700 meters - very unlikely you need to cover that distance) !!!
So, 1h40mins is "easy" even if your inbound flight ex CMB is late up to 30 mins !
