Trying to determine if I need to clear immigration in FRA or if I can take the tighter connection if my bags can be checked in BOS through to BCN.
Probably too late of a response now since summer's over, but in my experience Condor will NOT through check bags on 2 separate tickets even if it's Condor to Condor. I flew SFO-FRA and FRA-MXP on 2 separate Alaska awards as well and although the counter agent could see my second leg, every time he tried to link the two the computer threw an error. In the end I still had to collect my bag and then recheck it with Condor in FRA. FRA is always a mess so you need to make sure there's enough time to do this. Plan on giving about an hour to 90 mins to collect your bag after landing as FRA baggage handling is almost always delayed.
