How long does it take to transfer between Frankfurt Airport's terminals?

I'm considering booking two flights on separate tickets through Frankfurt Airport. How much time should I include for a transfer between the terminals 1 and 2?
I will be flying Schengen to non-Schengen, with luggage.
Best Answer
A relative of mine did this exact trip: transiting FRA from a non-Schengen country to a Schengen country on separate tickets with luggage, switching between Terminal 2 and 1. Gate-to-gate it took only 70 minutes, including passport control and the bus ride between the terminals. So if you're planning on making a similar trip, I'd say 2 hours should be plenty of time.

How much time do you need between connecting flights Frankfurt?
Airport guidelines also suggest a minimum of 45 minutes for international connections, but given the size of the airport, allowing 60-90 minutes would provide a more comfortable buffer.How much time do you need to change planes in Frankfurt?
1. Re: Changing planes in Frankfurt...is 1 hour enough time? Minimum transfer time at Frankfurt Airport is 45 minutes. You luggage will be checked through to Amsterdam and you will deal with customs there.Is 1 hour enough for connecting flights in Frankfurt?
For those with through checked baggage or no luggage, on a single ticket, I would recommend a minimum 1.5 hour connection time, even though airlines can book you with a shorter connection time. If you're on separate tickets but with no luggage or through checked luggage, I'd recommend a 2 hour or more connection time.Do I have to go through customs for a connecting flight in Frankfurt?
Re: Connecting flight - need to clear customs? In FRA you will go through immigration, followed by a customs check for your hand luggage (although with only random picks for actual checks) and a security check. Customs check for your checked-in bags, if you would have some, would be in Copenhagen.TRANSFER AT FRANKFURT Airport - Connection Flight at Frankfurt am Main Airport - Travel video
