I am to be travelling from a non - schengen country to Frankfurt (FRA) and have to immediately catch a connecting flight to Paris where I have to attend a business meeting set up at the last minute. I would have only a german schengen.

Can someone advise on following?

1) what is the minimum time connection time one should keep in mind to ensure you do not miss a connecting flight?

2) Does one have to clear immigration and customs for all baggage in Frankfurt? or does one have an option of checking luggage through from source to the final destination (Paris)?

3) what are the main points to consider to ensure that you do not miss your connecting flight.

regards
Are your connecting flights booked as the main part of your international ticket?

If you have the connecting flight booked on a separate ticket to the flight you are arriving on, you will definitely need to collect your bags, and re-check your bags in for your onward connection.

The bare minimum connecting time for Frankfurt is 45 minutes.
