[QUOTE=ddschur;14029199]My vote is that you will be completely fine- particularly if you arrive in A, as your departure will most probably be from A. I wouldn't waste any time however.

A62 would be great in the case of the OP.
B23 is fine as well (although in this case the only bottleneck possibility would be the security at the bottom of the escalator, in which case turn left instead of right, and reclear through the business priority security channel).
Rolleyes is for?
Ciao.

FRA connection minimum time needed
I usually fly UA TATL but am on LH419 (IAD-FRA) arriving 7:40AM on 6/24. Connecting to LH3952 (FRA-LIN) departing at 8:45AM. Not sure of LH to LH connections.
Is this going to be a run-to-the-gate situation? Any suggestions to minimize the hassle factor? Only carry on and flying business.
My experiences at FRA have not always been happy ones.

This is a legal connection that LH sells and if your TATL flight arrives on time you should be ok, if not you will have to wait a further 2 hr 25 min for the next flight to LIN.
Hopefully all you need is to walk to the end of Pier A for passport control and security, and go downstairs for your connecting flight.

90 minutes on separate tickets
Hi FRA experts!
I think I may have made an unwise decision...
I have booked FLR-FRA on LH Cityline, arriving FRA at 0815 on a Friday morning. I then have a connection on a separate ticket on the Delta flight to ATL leaving at 0945.
Do I have a reasonable chance? I'm traveling alone, and pretty fast. I'd rather avoid flying in the night before, if I can...
(I suppose should also say: are the LH staff at FLR going to try to force me to check my rollaboard bag? It's not a huge bag, but I don't know the policy given that it's a regional airline.)

Hello All,
Just checking my calculation.
F passenger
LH 4723 (LHR-FRA). Appears to arrive uniformly at BNS
onto LH 442 (FRA-DTW). Historically departs from A60s.
Assuming they are not out to greet me planeside, make my way to F lounge in B and expect car transfer?

Without luggage, just check in online for the delta flight and you should be fine. With luggage, you might cut it close, even though I would say (but wait for others to confirm), it should work out with a few minutes to spare.

You may have to go through security to get to the FCL B and another security check on leaving the lounge (I believe this is still the case for US departure). Alternatively you can go through passport control and walk to the FCT. The FCL B option is probably the most straightforward.

This is very poor after announcing that LHR-FRA flights will park at a gate in future.

Regarding the FCL B- yes you will have to go through security again to get to FCL B, but NOT on departure (down below)- that has been eliminated since they implemented the new security to get to FCL B.
I would go to FCL B in the OPS case.

I seem to remember reading a report that security checks on leaving the FCL B were still in place for TLV and US departures but I may be mistaken.

Wondering if anybody knows what gates the IAH-FRA flight usually arrives in, and on that topic what gates the new a380 will be departing from.
