Connection time in Frankfurt
Planning to fly from Stockholm to Frankfurt(lufthansa), connecting in Frankfurt(Air Canada) to Ottawa, with a 1 hr 20min connection. Is this connection doable? Understand that both Lufthansa and Air Canada now in same terminal.

Welcome to FlyerTalk on behalf of the community, we hope you'll stick around.
The above described connection is perfectly fine (in normal circumstances i.e. taking into account no delays or any other potential disruption, needless to say) and you will find plenty of useful tips in the following thread -

You should be fine as long as your flight from Stockholm is not very late. You should arrive at an A gate or A bus gate. Your flight to Ottawa leaves from a B gate. Take the elevator between gate A15 and A17 down to the transfer tunnel and go through passport control at the other end.

Z11-B63 post-security (clean), non-Schengen transfer bus
Yes, exactly. I turned left after walking from the Z wing that is restricted to US-bound flights, following the signs, and came across a temporary sign post in the middle of the concourse. Where before you would keep going, out of security along with foot traffic bound for baggage claim, and then circle back around to the Z Skyline station for a transfer to B non-airside, instead I found this temporary sign across from Z11. Turn left to go to Schengen passport (and A), turn right to go down the stairs to the tarmac and a bus transfer to a bus gate in B.
It all felt very temporary? Perhaps a test? It was so much dramatically faster a transfer. ^

If the bus isn't running, perhaps in the afternoon, you of course can still avoid a security check by taking the double passport check route as follows: Arrival to AEUW or Z11 thru Z69 (but not ANS nor Z50A thru Z69A) -> follow signs to A gates (access either near Z13 or Z25) -> Schengen zone inbound passport check -> follow signs to B gates -> board elevators / lifts between A15 and A17 and descend to tunnel to B gates -> walk through tunnel to B gates -> ascend on elevators / lifts to B gates and arrive in Schengen zone B1 thru B19 -> follow signs to B20 thru B63 -> Schengen zone outbound passport check -> non-Schengen area of T1B (B20 thru B63). No security check is encountered when following this route, but passport controls are encountered twice. Of course, this route is not an option if you do not have a Schengen visa (but require one to enter the Schengen zone).
If the bus isn't running, perhaps in the afternoon, and you don't have a Schengen visa (and require one to enter the Schengen zone), you would of course just follow the regularly posted signs to B gates, making sure to avoid any routes which direct you to only B gates numbered 19 or lower. This route will be as follows: Arrival to AEUW, ANS, Z11 thru Z69, or Z50A thru Z69A -> up to the non-Schengen platform and then carriage of the SkyLine system -> SkyLine one stop to B gates -> right turn at bottom of stairs / escalator / elevator / lift toward B20 thru B63 -> security checkpoint -> non-Schengen area of T1B (B20 thru B63).
I'm not certain whether this last scenario would be possible or not, but where this post-security, non-Schengen transfer bus would come in handy most of all would be in the opposite direction. Unlike the Z to B direction, there is no way that I'm aware of to transfer from non-Schengen B to any other gates in the airport without passing through a security checkpoint. I only took the bus in the Z to B direction, so I didn't notice whether or not there was any signage near B63 (as there was near Z11). Therefore, it's possible that it may not even be allowed to board the bus at B63 to travel to Z11. However, if it hypothetically were possible, boarding the bus at B63 would give non-Schengen T1B passengers access to both the Z and A gates without requiring a security check. The hypothetical route would be as follows: Start in the non-Schengen clean B20 thru B63 gate area on levels 1 and 2 or the non-Schengen clean LH or AC lounge area on level 3 -> B63 -> bus -> Z11 -> up a lot of stairs -> Z gates. Optionally, continue on to A gates via only one Schengen zone inbound passport check near Z13 or Z25. Theoretically then from the A gates, in a very roundabout way, it would even be possible to access the Schengen zone of T1B without ever encountering a security checkpoint by concluding the circuitous route with this route extension: follow the signs to B gates -> board elevators / lifts between A15 and A17 and descend to tunnel to B gates -> walk through tunnel to B gates -> ascend on the elevators / lifts to the B gates, arriving at Schengen zone B1 thru B19 (rather than non-Schengen zone B20 thru B63 where you started). Has anyone ever tried to board the transfer bus at B63 and been able to travel to Z11?
Does anyone know if any other clean, non-Schengen, T1B-arriving flights other than just SQ25 from JFK provide arrival access into the clean area of B20 thru B63? If not, why don't those other flights from the US, Canada, UK, Ireland, etc. open up to the clean area of B20 thru B63, just as they would were they to arrive in AEUW or Z11 thru Z69 (but not Z50A thru Z69A)? Even if they were clean non-Schengen bus arrivals to T1B, they could be designated as "BEUW" or "BEUO" and buses could let passengers off to enter the terminal at any of the bus gates B30 thru B33 or B54 thru B63.
As it stands today, almost all non-Schengen T1B arrivals, whether from clean or unclean origins, are treated as unclean and designated as B20A thru B28A, B41A thru B48A, or BNS. B20A thru B28A and B41A thru B48A arrivals ascend from their jet bridges directly to T1B level 3 unclean, non-Schengen corridors which meet the junction of the T1B west and east piers. BNS bus arrivals drop off in former gates B50 thru B53 from which passengers then take dedicated elevators / lifts / escalators from level 1, skipping level 2, directly to level 3, letting them off in the same unclean non-Schengen level 3 corridor at the junction of the T1B west and east piers. The Schengen zone inbound passport control for all T1B non-Schengen arrivals is located at this same junction point, as is access to the unclean non-Schengen corridor to the non-Schengen carriage of SkyLine and other non-B non-Schengen gates.
Were T1B clean non-Schengen arrivals to actually be recognized for their clean status, then (1) terminating passengers, (2) non-Schengen transiting passengers connecting to gates other than B20 thru B63, and (3) non-Schengen to Schengen transiting passengers connecting to gates other than A or B1 thru B19 would simply proceed up to the clean corridor on level 3 (where the MLL and McDonalds food court are located) via the escalators adjacent to B22 and B42, pass through the clean to unclean exit portals located on either side of the opposite direction T1B level 3 non-Schengen transfer security checkpoint, and arrive at this exact same T1B unclean non-Schengen junction point as they do today. Clean non-Schengen passengers transiting to other non-Schengen flights departing from B20 thru B63 could just proceed directly to their next gate with no security checks or passport checks at all. And finally, if Fraport were to simply reverse the flow of a few of the passport check booths on level 2 at the T1B west and east pier junction point, they could enable clean non-Schengen to Schengen transiting passengers to connect to gates A and B1 thru B19 with no security check and just one passport check, just as they do when arriving at AEUW and Z11 thru Z69 (but not Z50A thru Z69A) today.
It doesn't seem to make any logical sense that flights on the same airlines from the same clean country origins be would treated as clean when they arrive to AEUW or Z11 thru Z69 (but not Z50A thru Z69A), but nearly always as dirty when they arrive to T1B, especially when the fix to this problem seems so simple (as spelled out above). Other than the zero cost procedural changes of (1) opening the jet bridge doors to departure lounges B20 thru B28 and B41 thru B48 directly (rather than diverting clean arrivals to the level 3 unclean corridor via B20A thru B28A and B41A thru B48A) and (2) establishing a "BEUW" or "BEUO" clean non-Schengen bus arrival procedure via any of existing bus gates B30 thru B33 or B54 through B63, the only physical modification required to enable this solution would be spinning around a few of the passport check booths on T1B level 2. The money saved on the reduced volume of transiting passengers requiring security screenings pay for this modification rather quickly I reckon. Am I missing something here? What do you all think? Is there a reason that anyone is aware of that these simple changes haven’t been made to date?
Lastly, does anyone think this bus would be even more valuable if it added a stop in the C14 thru C20 range as well? It would seem the same justification exists for a Z11 – B63 route as a Z11 – B63 – C14-20 route. Does anyone think this would ever be considered or feasible?

Query regarding connection in FRA
I hope this is an acceptable question (I'm not a regular on the forums!)
My family and I will be transiting in FRA this coming Friday 26th October, coming in on LH959 from BHX (scheduled arrival 0840) and then connecting to LH590 to Nairobi (scheduled to depart at 1110).
We have a friend who is in FRA that day, and would very much like to meet him for a brief coffee. He is able to come to the airport and meet us wherever would work best. Even a 20 minute meeting would be wonderful as we don't see him very often at all.
Bearing in mind the BHX flight is often at a remote gate, and that theoretically we would have from perhaps 0910 to start of boarding (not sure, maybe 1030?) may I ask those more familiar with FRA if it might be possible to go landside for a quick meet up?
I have Star Gold status, thus access to priority security, and naturally we would already have our BPs for the Nairobi flight in our possession.
Any help/tips would be very much appreciated!

depends on how risk averse you are :-)
me personally I would not risk it, primarily because of the totally unpredictable situation at security.

There are options to eat/have a coffee landside within the terminal (i.e. the Bistrot self service deli in the middle of T1B, which I haven't tried, but which looks nice enough - or you may head over to either the Sheraton or the Hilton (the Sheraton being a few min. closer to the terminal).

Thank you both for your helpful input, I very much appreciate it.
At the risk of inconveniencing our FRA friend, I might leave the decision to the day and see what time we deplane from BHX, and where the onward gate is - I am risk averse, but would love to be able to meet up with him if at all possible.
Thank you once again,
Nick

You might want to download the official FRA app. It will display approximate wait times for both security and passport control by checkpoint (e.g., T1A, T1B West, etc.).
As other major airports, FRA can be unpredictable at times. For example, I arrived from the UK recently and the automatic border control machines were down/inactive for some reason. So passport control took forever.
Basically, I agree with the previous poster that you should usually have ample of time to see your friend. But you might have to make a judgement call if lines appear particularly bad that day.

LH959 has arrived or is scheduled to arrive at AEUW at least up to Thursday. There is a good chance that it will also arrive at AEUW on Friday. Just follow the signs for the Exit and go through passport control.
LH590 seems to depart from a B gate on most days but according to LH.com it is scheduled to depart from C14 on Friday.
if your flight leaves from a C gate you will have to clear security anyway whether you go landside to meet your friend or not.

How old is the family?
Normally at security and passport control in Frankfurt there are special lanes for those with smaller children. So if you have smaller kids then you can actually take advantage of these special lanes and skip most of the queues! They can be quicker than priority security for gold/first/business passengers.
Otherwise, you could consider maybe letting the family stay airside and just you go landside. That would save them the extra stress.
Normally at security and passport control in Frankfurt there are special lanes for those with smaller children.

I didn’t explain what AEUW was in my reply because in your case it’s immaterial. 
However since we are talking about FRA things do change and LH.com is now telling us LH959 will arrive at BNS (B non-Schengen bus gate) on Friday. Following the signs for the Exit will take you up to the transfer area where you go through passport control to go landside. It looks like LH590 will still depart from C14.

There are only two lines with a I-D connection and an MCT below 1 hour; the one is limited to arriving flights with numbers 7330-7353 and the other is for LH 0443 to LH0126.
Code:
DMLH/FRA/LH/23NOV16 FRA LH TO LH FRA-FRA FROM - TO D/D D/I I/D I/I CC FLTN-FLTR ORGN EQPTM-CC FLTN-FLTR DEST EQPTM HMM HMM HMM HMM LH 7330-7353 ZA - --- --- 045 045 LH 0443 -LH 0126 --- --- 050 ---
Quite possible that I misread something, or am misunderstanding something.
Does an arrival from Poland not count as an International departure (since it is a Schengen country)?
A small how to on reading the wiki would be appreciated...
