Is 1h 45min enough layover time for connecting flight + passport control

  1. You haven't told us where your flight originates. If you're from the USA, remember that most of the world is not the USA.
  2. Frankfurt is a very efficient airport indeed, so you'd probably just about do it IF your baggage has been checked through to your final destination, but whether that's likely to be done is something you would have to ascertain from Lufthansa.
  3. Personally, I would not be satisfied with less than 2 hours between flights -- you've got to allow for potential delay in the arrival of your incoming flight and queues at security.
  4. I've no experience of Zurich airport, though the Swiss are normally hyper-efficient. 3 hours is a much more comfortable gap between flights since security checks seem to have been intesified everywhere over the past year or so..

Unless passport control at FRA is understaffed and there are several wide-body arrivals at the time of your arrival, it should be OK in my experience.

If you miss it, though, you'll be booked onto the next available connection for free, provided the trip is in a single booking.
