FRA connection info needed
Hello
I’m planning a last minute trip to London using miles. On my return I’m traveling from London Heathrow to Nyc in business class. I have a two hour connection in Frankfurt. Is that enough time? Does anyone know what the process will be to make this connection?
i was hoping to go non stop from LHR to NYC but this was the best I could find considering its last minute. I’m grateful for any help you can provide.

If your flight from LHR arrives at a B gate or any bus gate other than AEUW you will have to go through transfer security.
You can check the arrival gates of LHR-FRA flights on Lufthansa's flight status page.
P.S. I have just checked yesterday and today's flights and none of them seems to be using AEUW. Not sure what's going on but if not arriving at AEUW you will have to clear transfer security.

Thanks for the quick replies. I’m on Lh 925 from LHR and LH 402 to Newark.
I paid 52,000 Miles each for two business class seats. UA wants 155k Miles per seat.
Still looking for last minute BA awards (hopefully)opening up.

Backup plan would be the LH at 1700 to JFK, hopefully they would be able to protect you in business there.

Ordinarily when I fly US-NBO (Z to B) I have to leave airside, take Skyline, and reclear security, but today there was a bus from Z11 to B59 or something! Is this a permanent change? I hate losing all my water, especially when the lounges have no taps to refill.

Interesting. Did you have to clear security when you arrived in B? I understand they use B63 (bus gate) when Skyline is out of action but the only other reason for taking passengers from Z to B by bus may be to avoid transfer security.

I am flying in August 2018 on one ticket:
UA 932 IAD - FRA Arr 1210
LH 760 FRA - DEL Dep 1340
It seems that UA 932 usually arrives at a bus gate (AEUW) and LH 760 departs from C gates. If I understand correctly, I will have to take the Skytrain and reclear security prior to entering the C gates. Assuming things are on-time, is this enough time to make this connection? Is there any Gold Track security line at the security checkpoint (I am *G with UA)? I've read the security lines can get quite long at FRA from what I've read in this thread and elsewhere. Thanks for the help

It's a long time since I departed from a C gate and cannot tell what security is like but they usually have separate priority lanes for First, Business and *G passengers from Economy passengers. 90 mins should be enough for this connection but FRA also has fast lanes for passengers with a very tight connection.
