Minimum connection time in Kuwait
 
I'm trying for a creative *A free ticket, which includes FRA-KWI-IAD (LH and UA). The FRA-KWI arrives at 23:00, and KWI-IAD leaves at 23:40. Does anyone know if this connection is doable, and if so, how I should procede (or not procede) through customs and immigration?

wow, very tight schedule......hope that your boarding pass is ready cuz you have to account for any delays in flights aside from the landing and hope that your flight makes it earlier...

That is tight, I wouldn't risk it, but KWI is an easy airport to transit. You don't have to go through customs and immigration on transit -- the arrival gate leads you into the main terminal, where you just walk to your departure gate. There are transit desks (obviously if you are going to attempt this, then make sure that you have your onward boarding pass in FRA), and security is at each gate.

ok, all of what's been mentioned is true except for the fact that lately, KWI airport has been using the bus shuttle for passenger arrivals/transit so it would be very luck of him for his flight to arrive at the gate, but I hope it's not the gate 22-24 cuz it's chaos down there (next to dasman lounge) since it has become 3 gates in one entry due to current construction works.
