On Friday, 6/30 I’m flying:
What is the most efficient route to the EasyPass enrollment center and then back through security? Once I enroll can I clear security using EasyPass? I am a UA 1K (*G) traveling on a full fare economy ticket. I believe I will be arriving in pier A, and departing pier Z, but am not 100% sure.

The connection is one hour. Will we be provided with any service since we are arriving in first class? Should I book a gate to gate service?

LH 1279 Has been Delayed Lately
Hello,
We currently hold tickets for ATH-IST-SFO on July 5, and in light of recent events, would like to fly on LH/UA instead.
I have found the following ticket (FWIW, we are US citizens) but the 65 minute connection time makes me nervous. Just wondering if I am over-reacting or being prudent. Having gotten lost at FRA many times, I now know to just follow the signs so hopefully that will help us transit quickly.
I'm not sure if we will have to go through passport control in FRA.
LH 1279 depart ATH at 2:20 pm. Arrive FRA 4:20 pm. Odds of a bus gate?
LH 9126 (aka UA 927) departs FRA at 5:25 pm.
Thank you for any advice you can offer.

We are on P fares on LH ticket stock, connecting to UA 927 in business. Thanks to @NewbieRunner, I know we will need to clear passport control and that we can use the priority lane. Just wondering in the event of a misconnect, who should we speak to in order to be best accommodated? UA staff or LH staff? Any advice is greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Hi !
I just booked some LH flights and I only have a 50-minute connexion in FRA...
It's BSL-FRA-LED, all on LH metal.
On the way back, again via FRA but with 1hr15', so if the flight is on time, there shouldn't be issues catching the next one.

Not sure this if this is considered a connection...
I'm booked on 2 separate tickets:
GVA-FRA on LH (economy)
FRA-SIN on SQ (business)
Arriving in FRA at 15h20 on LH1217
Departing FRA at 22h00 on SQ325
That's more or less 6h transit. I'm aware they won't check my bags in all the way from GVA to SIN, that's fine.
However, I intend to head out to the city and meet some friends for drinks before coming back to FRA.
Question is, where can I find how early I can check-in my bags to SIN? Any options to do it at around landing time from LH1217? I just don't want to drag my bags to the city.
I checked on the airport page and they have luggage storage but from my understanding, that's only once you're checked-in and inside the terminals...

Our scheduled 65 minute connection has been 40 minutes or less 4 of the last 10 days and arrived at a bus gate many times. Once it arrived after UA 927 had departed, and once 10 minutes before UA 927 was scheduled to leave. I am officially worried. We are on P fares on LH ticket stock, connecting to UA 927 in business. Thanks to @NewbieRunner, I know we will need to clear passport control and that we can use the priority lane. Just wondering in the event of a misconnect, who should we speak to in order to be best accommodated? UA staff or LH staff? Any advice is greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Thank you.I do want add some information though in case it helps anybody else. We arrived at Gate A16, walked a few feet to the left and found elevators leading up to the Z Gates (there was also a staircase, which would have gotten us upstairs faster). That immediately put us into passport control, where there wasn't any type of priority lane. Even though the line was quite long, there were four desks open and we were through within 10 minutes. Once past passport control we came out across from Gate Z16.
Safe travels to all.

Flying into FRA On UA, so I assume that means arriving in the Z gates, leaving on LH flight to UK, so looks like that would be non-schenghen part of B.
No way to do this without going through security right? Which is less painful, skytrain or tunnel?

Hey Everyone
I'm flying in from the early LHR flight then have exactly 1 hour till my departure from Frankfurt to Naples. That'll be enough time according to the agent. I'm aware sometimes the LHR flight parks on the AEUW stand.
Am I right in thinking I will have to clear passport control and possibly security once again when in transit? Has anyone got any experience of a similar transfer and any tips? Thanks!

Tunnel = no security but two passport checks as you will enter and exit the EU. Skytrain = security but no passport check. If you're on a tight connection, FRA security will let you use the priority lane.

If you are travelling LHR-FRA-NPL then you enter Schengen once at FRA and remain therein on the onward. No exit passport check because you remain in Schengen. Nothing to do with EU by the way.

LHR to NPL (New Plymouth, New Zealand) would be non-Schengen to non-Schengen
OP is looking to travel from the USA to UK via FRA (I think you know what I meant, which is non-Schengen to non-Schengen)
