Is 1h25m enough to connect at Frankfurt am Main Airport?
I have a flight from India to Frankfurt and Frankfurt to London via Lufthansa. I have a layover of 1 hour and 25 mins. Is this enough to connect? I am travelling with an Indian Passport.

If the airline is willing to sell you the ticket they believe you can connect -- because they're on the hook for rebooking you if you don't make it.
Further, there are plenty of flights to be rebooked on -- on the random October date I just searched for, Lufthansa alone has fifteen non-stop flights from Frankfurt to either Heathrow or London City, spread out over the day. So no matter how late your incoming flight is, you can expect to be on a flight to London with at most a few hours wait in Frankfurt (unless you miss the last flight of the day, in which case you'll have to wait for an early-morning flight the next day). It's not like some other connections where missing your flight could mean you have to wait for the same flight the next day.

Is 1 hour enough for connecting flights 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 need to go through immigration for a connecting flight at 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.Is 2 hour layover enough in Frankfurt?
Typically, an hour is already enough in Frankfurt. However, there can always be an uncommonly long line or some other issue, and then two hours are better. Your main concern should be that LH typically doesn't wait for connections, and those are often delayed.How much time do you need for a connecting flight in Frankfurt?
Frankfurt's minimum connection time is 45 minutes, and Lufthansa will sell you \u201clegal\u201d, i.e., protected same-ticket-booking connections, on that basis.TRANSFER AT FRANKFURT Airport - Connection Flight at Frankfurt am Main Airport - Travel video
