Looking for some advice on my connection tomorrow.
LH Flight BCN > FRA arriving at A16
AC Flight FRA > YYZ "departing at terminal 1" with no gate info this early
I only have an hour, historically my AC flight departs at B48 or around there.
Think I can make this happen in an hour?

For me personally, it would make a difference whether the second flight is to NCE or to BRU. I'd be more aggressive with BRU. The reason being that high-speed trains FRA-BRU run regularly, and last-minute train tickets aren't that expensive. So if you miss a flight FRA-BRU, you have a back-up plan which isn't terribly bad financially.
With FRA-NCE on separate tickets, I'd leave three hours to be on the safe side. Perhaps 2 1/2 is fine, assuming the punctuality record of your Condor flight looks all right (check flightradar24 or similar)
And what exactly is Schengen?

I checked the first post, but it's from 2009 so I figure the airport will have changed a bit since then.

Yes, AC flights usually leave from B gates. You are in luck if your flight from BCN arrives at A16 which is very close to the elevator down to the tunnel. Follow the signs for B, walk through the tunnel and clear passport control at the end. Unless your flight from BCN is late you値l be fine.
Thanks!
looks like my arrival gate got changed to A30, but I'll just have to walk fast and find the tunnel. I noted down the info from the OP for the location.
Connections shouldn't be this stressful :P

can you update the first post to say that X99A indicates a non clean arrival? Ie B28A is deplaning at B28 but not into the B concourse...

Most (but not all) EU countries are in a "Schengen area", which basically means the flights are treated as domestic (no passport control, no immigration)

FWIW:
I landed at an apron outside with bus transport to A30, by the time I got to the terminal it was about 9:10 or 9:12. I RAN through the terminal to B48 and go there by 9:30ish.
My bags however, didn't make my connection leaving at 10am. I had to go back to pick them up at my destination airport when the following FRA>YYZ flight arrived.

I知 flying ARN-FRA-JFK on Monday, is this a simple enough transfer? All on LH, and my connection time is 1h 40m. Never been through FRA before so I知 fairly nervous.

Yes, it should be very straightforward. Your flight from ARN should arrive at an A gate and the flight to JFK leaves from a Z gate. A and Z are two floors in the same part of the terminal. Just follow the signs for Z gates which will take you through passport control. There will be document check by the gate.

Your plane might arrive at a B-gate. In that case you have to walk through the notorious 288 meter long tunnel. Still, just follow the signs for Z to the elevator leading to the tunnel. No security check, the passport control before the stairs to Z is pretty close to the A-end elevator. A B-arrival would add between five and ten minutes to the time used to transfer.
