Connection Time in FRA

[MightyQuinn]

Looking to purchase flights AMS-FRA-YVR on a single ticket with AC in business class.  First segment would be operated by LH on an A320.  There is only 1hr05m connection time in FRA which I think may be too tight.  Would appreciate the advice/experience of experts.  Thanks.

FRA is pretty efficient and designed for short connections. Odds are you'll make it, barely. You'll need to do immigration as it's your exit point from Schengen, so that will add some time. You also won't get to enjoy a visit to the lounge, which is definitely a perk of Business Class. But as long as the AMS-FRA flight is on-time (which is an assumption on its own), you'll probably make it just fine. 

 

Do you have any other options to extend your layover time?

Thanks Zach1213. 

 

All connections via FRA have a 1hr05m connection.  Another option is AMS-LHR-YVR with first segment operated by KLM on a 739 with 2hr05m at LHR.  That routing adds another 2 hours to the overall journey.  Even less desirable is AMS-YYZ-YVR with 1hr40m in YYZ.

Not really.  What you are seeing is what the computer system is presenting.  There are a number of other options available (from picking a random date to search).

 

But since you don't bother to say when you are traveling, it's tough to give you specific assistance and advice.
