FRA Connection Time
 
Is a 1hr connection (seperate tickets) UA to BA a completely crazy idea or just crazy. Offline MCT on I/I is showing 45min but looking for a sanity check.

That's quite a gamble.

Unless UA arrives early you have at most 45 minutes to change terminals and clear security.

Even widebodies have been getting apron positions so you might have to be bussed to T1 first.

And you have zero protection so rather than "do you feel lucky?" maybe the better question is "can you afford a last minute walk-up ticket to replace the flight you missed?"

Completely crazy. You have to go from T1 to T2, and as mentioned, sometimes even widebodies end up with a bus gate so you'd have to all get on a bus to even get into the terminal.

Most of my non-LH wide bodies arriving at FRA have received bus gates in recent years. One hour is completely nuts.

With checked luggage -> impossible. Without checked luggage -> completely crazy idea.
