The 3.5 hours is, of course, safest but it’s a Canadair 900 RJ, and I’m concerned about being forced to check our carry on bags. Does LH do Jet bridge to Jet bridge handling for carry ons line UA does?

Is 2:15 enough time to make this LH TO UA connection? Looks like the flights from Paris go into A gates. Some are “ASS” which I assume are remote stand/bus gates.

UA goes out of Z gates, which, if I remember correctly, are just above the A Gates. (Or just below them).

Is there anything more than a simple passport check to get from A to Z gates?

Again, I’d go for the 3.5 hours except for concerns about our carry ons. with the RJ.

We have connected in FRA a few other times without issue but always “sweat it” anyway.
