Alaska Airlines - they are Condor’s main partner in the US.

see posts from mid-May 2023 onwards.
I spoke to Condor, they told me to go to Condor Desk în Fra if I miss the connection and they will handle it. How well they will do it, I am skeptical of course, but at least they did not say they wouldn't do it.
Another wierd thing with this booking, they say that because the second flight is with Tarom, I have to do a separate check in for the leg from Fra to Otp. Nevever happened to me before.
Also, one more drawback could be in Frankfurt changing terminals from T1 to T2, and not sure how easy that would be. If you or another person knows this I would appreciate any piece of advice.
Thanks
Oh, right, Tarom is Skyteam and flies out of T2. There is a fairly long thread (start with the Wiki) in the LH forum that discusses connections in FRA.

There are also some recent threads in this forum about connections. I personally have never had the pleasure of connecting from T1 to T2, so I don’t have any personal experience. There is a SkyTrain between the terminals, but I read here and saw signs at FRA that it is currently not operating. Not sure if there is a bus bridge that lets you remain in the non-Schengen area and connect to T2. Hopefully someone else can advise.
It doesn’t surprise me that Condor tells you to check in with Tarom - not uncommon that airlines can’t give you boarding passes for “partners”. When I check in with AS, I generally don’t get my Condor (DE) boarding pass… and vice versa. But it can be done separately, hopefully online so you are checked in when you get to FRA.
Make sure they check your bags through (if you have any).
