Good luck & let us know how it goes
looks like the arrival gate was already updated to Z25 for todays flight.

Going from Z to A shouldn’t be an issue given the delay

Yes thanks. Just noticed that as well. BUT, was watching arrival of LH456 on Flightradar24 and it had to do a go around. Uggh. Another 15 minute delay. Fingers crossed. My connection hasn’t been automatically rebooked yet.

Common sense can occasionally surface at FRAPORT

Z to A is the easiest connection under the circumstances

Hi,

Flying into FRA and will connect to the Train (ICE etc. to Hannover). The will arrive on Thursday AA70 at 8:45am (German Passport, Business, HLO). How long will it take me to get to the train.

Believe it or not, I made it. Arrived at Z25 1:40 late. Fast walk through the terminal to immigration, and thankfully there was no line and all the stations appeared to have been staffed. Boarded connecting flight at A14 with 5 minutes to spare. Whew!

Depends on your arrival gate & the lines to enter Schengen

Any range you can estimate?

You‘ll arrive at gate D or E of T2. You have to go through immigration and to pick up your luggage at T2. SkyLine is under maintenance, so you have to take the shuttle bus in front of T2 to T1, followed by a short walk to the Fernbahnhof.

Hard to say, how long you will need for immigration, luggage and shuttle bus. The last time I‘ve done that was 2019.

My guess for the time from leaving the aircraft to the Fernbahnhof is:
- best case: appr. 40 minutes
- normal case: appr. 60 minutes
- bad case (not worst): appr. 90 minutes

QR67 to LH950

AKL-DOH-FRA-NCL in late August on Qatar issued ticket (QR915/67 & LH950). Would assume luggage to be interlined and all boarding passes issued at Auckland, travelling on R

Noticed that 67 can run late and 950 has a habit of leaving early occasionally, as 950 is the last flight, the better half is concerned with a late arrival into FRA and what is likely to happen re transit

LH will see that you are coming and may wait, but not for long. QR as the cause of the delay will arrange for rebooking and accomodation in FRA should you miss the flight. That said your connection is two hours, so she should be fine.

Code:
** AMADEUS TIMETABLE - TN ** NCL NEWCASTLE.GB                  01AUG22 08AUG22

I am looking at booking STL-FRA-CDG, but my choices are 1:40 and 5:40 (i can't believe they're showing a 0:40 option.) Last time I transited FRA in October 2021, it was a forever walk to passport control, and I think it took an hour with my wife. We had 3:30, so got to finish waking up in the J lounge (good coffee!) This would be a little more compressed at 1:40, and definitely no lounge time. Is this a reasonable layover?

More than reasonable, and I think you'll have a good half-hour of lounge time to boot (as long as the incoming flight lands on time).
