Hope you will get your SFO boarding pass in NCE. You'll need the boarding pass before security, I think, and if you don't have it, getting it in FRA at a transfer desk will delay you.
Now you've got me worried. We have a one hour 5 min connection at FRA arriving LH from CDG, leaving on UA 900 to SFO. Will LH give us UA boarding passes at CDG? Should I try to move our departure from CDG to one hour sooner (there is another flight). On a Z fare, may cost to change.
