First contact USAirways if they will transfer her bags to the LOT connecting flight - if not, the bags would have to be claimed at the baggage claim level, and re-checked in at the departures level with LOT. On Arrival at Frankfurt Airport, your mom will be processed at Area A (signs will guide her) where she will have to go through passport control. Both US Airways & LOT use the same Terminal 1 - LOT uses Concourse/Pier A (T1A) and US Airways T1C. Pier A gates are now divided into left-side gates A1-42 and right-side gates A50-69. Contact both airlines for wheelchair assistance. If that is too late, your mom needs to alert the flight attendant of her requirement, so that someone will be there at the arrivals gate with a wheelchair.

You arrive and depart from Terminal 1 of FRA Airport, where you go through 'Non-Schengen' passport check. Lufthansa uses both Concourses /Piers A & B, while Air Canada uses Pier B. While a transfer tunnel outside security connects both piers, you can also use the SkyLine train inside security, departing every 2-3 mins. You have enough time.

While both arriving and departing Lufthansa flights at FRA Airport are using Terminal 1, Piers A & B, today's LH 999 does not show gate and LH 1290 shows Terminal 1 A/B. (A transfer tunnel connects A to B). On arrival at FRA the overhead screen will indicate flight number and gate; then simply follow signs to your connecting gate. One hour transfer time is quite sufficient.

Both you and your wife will arrive at Terminal 1 - Air Canada arrives at Pier (Concourse) C, while Lufthansa could arrive either at Pier A or B. As you both will need to go through the 'non-Schengen' (foreign) passport control, I suggest you meet up in the baggage claim area (the overhead screens at the carousels will indicate arriving airlines).

Arrival and departure at FRA Airport is in the same Terminal 1: Lufthansa uses non-schengen Concourse A (with renamed gates Z11-Z25), which is on level 3 of the terminal; while Air Canada uses Concourse C (gates C1-C16) which is on level 2 of the terminal. Make sure, however, that Lufthansa is transferring your bags to Air Canada flight - if not, you would have to go get your bags and re-check them in with Air Canada - 50 mins would be very tight in this case.

Thank you. Do you think we will make the connection if we don't need to retrieve our bags?
