FRA connection time question
Im scheduled to arrive FRA 9:15 on OU coming from zagreb, i will be checking bags. Im booked on co51 which departs at 11:20. Is this enough time or is it cutting things too close? should i just spend the night in FRA instead of ZAG?

Not to threadjack, but I've been meaning to ask this question and this seems like a good place to put it. I have an upcoming flight with a 55 minute connection in FRA. The first flight is JFK-FRA on SQ, connecting to FRA-CDG on LH. I'm assuming since they are both *A and booked on the same ticket that the bags can be interlined, but is that enough time to connect and transfer? I've never been to FRA so am not familiar with the layout at all.
Thanks for your help.

Immigration is done within minutes ( assuming you are not a citizen of a too fancy country) but they will do a sec screening before you board the flight to France(they do that for all passengers who don't originate from an EU airport).

Just did a similar transfer, arriving on LH from Budapest a bit late, so that I had 50 minutes to then make my UA flight to San Francisco. Walking fast and with no wait at security, and having gotten my UA boarding pass from LH in Budapest, I'd say it took me about 30 minutes--I made it with about 10 minutes to spare and was not the last to board the plane. (No check-in baggage, so I can't comment on how well interlining will work out.) Whether you can do the same might depend on whether your arriving and deparing flights are in the same terminal. Both of mine were in Terminal
1. I had to get from section B (?) to section C (?) within the terminal, hence a fair amount of fast walking. I don't know FRA that well either, but suspect if you have to switch terminals things could get tight.
