SQ25 and 26 continuing pax are considered clean and don't have to clear transit security, but not sure if this applies for passengers connecting to other flights as well
(e.g. see this post in the SQ forum -- https://www.flyertalk.com/forum/30722861-post623.html -- when deplaning terminating passengers are sent up the stairs to the third floor to immigration/customs, while continuing passengers exit on the second floor into the secure area, but they don't really check for a continuing BP so I think it's possible to just exit into the secure area with the FRA-SIN pax)

In theory, yes. But the lounges are in the departure area and passengers normally leave the area by boarding a plane through one of the departure gates. So you won't see many "Ausgang" signs. (In fact at some airports passengers have to be escorted to leave the departure area but not at FRA.) As far as I know there is only one way for passengers to leave the departure area without boarding a flight and it's through a oneway automated door opposite McCafe on the same floor where the MLL is located.

LH819 to LH778 on a Wednesday evening.
Schengen to non schengen, two adults 3 kids, on EU passports.
1hr5min connection time, is it doomed?

If the inbound is one time, it is perfectly doable. Just don‘t expect to get much time at the lounge and have a plan B in case you do miss the flight.

Thanks, Well actually there isnt much of a plan b since its one of the last flights out in the evening.
There is a SQ flight departing some 20min later. What are the chanses LH will automatically put us on that one in case we miss the LH flight by minutes?

Do we have to reclear security check on a Z to C (both non-Schengen)?
made this transfer many times but I clear passport control to hang out at Starbucks and then passport control and security into C.

Is there a transfer desk for Air Canada at the transit area?
I'm arriving from MCT, but the flight is after 14 hours layover so i'm not sure if i will have time for check in for AC flight at MCT

There is an AC transfer desk in B, however they are open only around the departure time of AC flights. The ML lounge maybe able to assist if the AC counter is closed.

Arriving 11:05 from SAN on LH and then connecting for flight to VCE at 12:30. Traveling with kids. Will we make it? Quickest route? Some with EU passports. Thanks!

Of course in the unlikely event you misconnect they will put you on the next available flight to VCE.

Whew, after trying to read through and understand the first few posts of this thread, I think I may have felt less anxious not knowing this thread existed at all! However, I think I should be pretty safe with my flights, anyone mind confirming?
Arriving at 11:05 on LH447 (flying J, so should be off early in the process), departing at 12:40 on LH 992. Non-Schengen (DEN) to Schengen (AMS). It appears that 447 typically ends up in Z, and 992 is out of A, so I think that we likely won't have to go through transfer security, only passport control?

incoming from ATH on Aegan in C at 1025, departing Tokyo on ANA in F at 1130.
how safe is this connection? in case of a misconnection, how likely am i to be rebooked on the evenings flight(s)? booked with M&M miles.

I will be travelling DUB - FRA and then FRA - BSL both on LH. When booked by agent there was a 70 min layover, the first flight has changed time and now there is a 50 min layover. We are all on EU passports.
We are travelling with my 85 year old mother (she’s fairly mobile but doesn’t walk that fast) Is this doable? I’d worry about this on my own but with my mother in tow I think I should change the flights, that said, I’ve never been through FRA before.
