unlikely if only party is late. If there is larger group then it is more likely. Course your outbound too may be delayed.
2. Are we likely to get an assisted transfer? I've had that at LHR several times when tight connections, someone holds a sign with connecting flight number and then escorts you through passport and security onto your next gate. I read somehwere that you can book a LH transfer service, for upto 5 persons. Would you recomend that in my case? I'm thinkin if I miss it then I miss it and the money can be spent elsewhere.
unlikely but you never know
3. What are we entiteld to if we miss the connection? Hotel? Food? Could we claim EC 261?
depends on the length or the delay, EC261 would additionally depend on the reason for the late inbound
4. When LH seeks to rebook us, can we request/demand we be booked on another carrier? If having to spend the night at FRA the best option in my opinion is to travel onwards on SQ25 leaving around noon the following day. A dummy booking on the LH website shows available seats for 1pax, but adding 4 the first availiable option is the night time departures. It does show up as availiable for 5 at OTA websites like Kayak though. What are your best alternative flight options? There seem to be options through MUC and ZRH all operated by SQ ( travel date 4/4/2019)
sorry I don't know
5. Are ther express lanes at security and passport? I do seem to remember ther are monitiors showing which flights allows you to skip the lines, but that might be something I saw on another airport and not FRA.
yes at security, not at passport control, however coming from a "clean" country you my not need to clear security. I do when transiting from LHR or JNB to a Schengen flight but not from Schengen to LHR or JNB
6. I'm *A Gold, family has no status. But if ther is a separate line for *A Gold, could I bring them ?
I doubt you will need to clear security but usually there is also a screen with the next few flights nd they too can use fast track
7. If rebooked, will be be able to acess our bags? Need to know if we should pack carry-on for 72hrs...
if you are rebooked overnight you could request your bags. you may have wait before you get them
