Advice on 2 separate tickets !
I booked one of those error fares from CDG to SIN and the flight timings/route were as follows :
LH4227 CDG - FRA 18:35 Depature
LH778 FRA - SIN
LH779 SIN - FRA
LH4210 FRA - CDG
I have just checked my booking again and it seems like that have rebooked me on LH4225 from CDG to FRA which departs at 17:50. It seems like the orginal LH4227 flight does not operate.
However I am connecting in CDG on a seprate ticket with flight LH4276 from Dusseldorf which arrives in CDG at 17:00. This will now give me only 50 minutes to make the connection which i think is not enough as the legal connection time in CDG is 90mins i believe. Orginally i had 1 hour 35 mins connection time.
I notice there is a LH4229 that leaves CDG at 19:25 and arrives in FRA at 20:50 giving me a 1 hour 20 minute connection in FRA for my SIN flight.
Do you think Lufthansa will be able to change my flight to LH4229 as it was their fault that LH4227 i orginally booked was cancelled ?

I called lufthansa and they wanted to charge me 100 Euros to change it ! Tried to reason the with the booking agent but no luck. So i put down the phone and call again. This time no problems as they said it was their fault and they have changed it

Hi,
why not check through DUS-CDG -CDG-SIN-also when using separate tickets-
Its not the normal way to FRA but should be no problem at all- I did this several times when traveling on 2 tickets e.g MUC-MXP(1 ticket) MXP-Fra-SIN(2.ticket). The same on return.The LH people are aware of the habit to fly on 2 tickets to optimize travel budget and you are not infringe their regualations.
But when feelin uncertain you may call LH to check rebooking on a later flight.
cheers
