I am flying LHR - HKG via FRA in business class. I have a 2hrs10min layover between flights. Not having been to FRA before is this enough time to spend time in the lounge? Or will it be a case of getting off one aircraft and heading straight for another?
Secondly will we need to re-clear security or can be stay airside
Thanks in advance

- You don't need to clear passport control but security depends on the parking position of your incoming aircraft from LHR. If you type again, here on FlyerTalk with flight numbers on your travel date, members would be happy to help you with your specific transfer case.

- Boarding in FRA starts 30 mins before departure for shorter flights and 40 mins before departure for longer flights so you would have time. However, depending on your specific departure date you might need to wait for the intra-terminal shuttle buses as the Skyline, which connects concourses is under maintenance, and it could take time.

I figured I would ask this here instead of starting a new thread. I have missed out on my last two upgrades (Y->J/C) on LH and I'm wondering if there are some things I could do differently. I have *G status via UA, but have miles in an LH account with no status. Last year when I requested the UG, my reservation seemed to be a mess as my LH number was in it and I tried to change to my UA number, then use LH miles to upgrade. When I got to the airport there were somehow both numbers in the record (I have no idea how this happened). The question I have is whether I can actually get this to work. When I use the UG tool (here), it seems that I could "sponsor" the upgrade from my M&M account, but not fill in the second M&M field. Could this allow me to have my UA number still in the PNR? I'm basically hoping that my *G status would put me in a better position for the upgrade. When I book LH tickets through Concur, it automatically puts my M&M number in the reservation. I'm thinking that I may need to remove this to make sure my UA number is there. In the past I have not had problems with swapping them, but last year something seems to have gone horribly wrong (not that I think that I would have definitely gotten the upgrade if things had been correct in the system).

You just have to call LH to change the FFP number to the UA*G number. The FQTR number will be M&M. Easy thing to do an the LH agent will know. This cannot be done online by your self.

Thanks. I tried calling last year to get them to change things, but it was all messed up. I'll just have to reference the FQTR field to see if they have things correct this time. I'm not holding my breath for a miles upgrade in June, but I have to try...

For the MUC regulars... is there a pharmacy airside? and if, where? Will have a Schengen to non-Schengen (Romania) connection today and need to pick up some medication. Would be nice, if I do not need to head out landside.

There is, both Schengen and non-Schengen, but I'm not sure how well stocked it is. www.muc.aero will tell you where it is

I'm looking to take advantage to the Ex ARN Companion special today routing ARN-ZRH-SIN-HKG-FRA-MUC-ARN, based in ZRH for the first trip I will check the luggage in directly for the ZRH-SIN leg and fly to ARN without checked luggage (as it is checked in directly to SIN), but on the return I was wondering if it would be possible to check the luggage through, given I have a ARN-ZRH flight. Booked on Swiss I guess this won't be an issue, however, if booked on SAS, do you think it would still be possible or will the agent in HKG refuse?

Wasn't looking for something very special, just something I was sure every German pharmacy will carry.. and they did... plenty
