Hello,

I would like to know if I can check luggage all the way through if my flights were booked separately but with *A members, Air Canada and Austrian Airline.
Information:

Air Canada: Montreal->Frankfurt, arrive 6:30am
Austrian Airline: Frankfurt->Dubrovnik, depart 7:50am

I called the Air Canada Reservation line and was told no, I'd have to collect my luggage and re-check it. I would like some experienced travellers to confirm this as the rep seemed distracted.

The ACRes rep also confirmed that I will not need to go through customs in FRA after collecting my luggage. I most certainly thought I would! Is the baggage carousel not located outside the "transfer zone" at FRA?

If I DO need to go through customs, is it likely that I will miss my 7:50am departure?

Thank you to anyone who can help!!
