Change Planes from CO to LH in BRU
Hi!
I am arriving in Brussels on a Continental Flight at 8:00 am and want connect to a Lufthansa flight leaving at 8:40 am. Is the 40 min connecting time enough to make the flight. Are Lufthansa and Continental going form the same Terminal and how far is the way from the CO gate to the LH gate, where I also have to check in for the LH flight as both flights are booked independently.
Any comments and suggestions are greatly appreciated.

I'll second that opinion. In my experience, the CO 60 arrival
tends to park at the very end of the terminal - naturally, the
exact opposite side of the terminal from which the Schengen
flights depart. (You didn't say if your connecting flight on
LH was within Europe, but I guess we are assuming that.)
Unless the CO flight arrives very early, the 40 minutes will be
a tough one, in my opinion.

The onward flight with LH goes form BRU to HAM so indeed non-Schengen to Schengen. I could check-in at the gate carrying only handluggage.
Do you think its safe to assume that they would put me on the next flight if i wouldnt make it? I would fly on a low fare but they did that already before. If would book the later flight straight awy, I'd have to wait for 9 hrs :-(
So is it safe to take the risk??
Thx!

I would not do this - the staff will not be impressed that you allowed 45 minutes to connectv - this is less than the minimum connecting time permitted. They can (and will) want to charge you full fare.
Book a later flight to Hamburg if you can.
