Can I waitlist a SQ flight with a second leg on a partner airline? IE JFK-FRA on SQ and FRA-TLV on LH. Second leg has availability but first leg has only waitlist availability

Is one hour too short of a layover on a nyc-fra-tlv booking?

Separate bookings? Probably.

Fair to assume that worst case I'll be rebooked onto the later flight I would anyway otherwise book?

You would have to check minimum connection time (MCT) on EF or KVS I believe it is 45 minutes so you should be good. Airline will usually not book it if your not withing the MCT.

As it turned out that availability disappeared by the time I booked and I now have an 8 hour layover. I'm hoping something opens up I'm the coming days

Would really appreciate any input.
I need to pick an elderly women suffering from Alzheimer's it is imperative that I meet her as early after deplaning as possible. This will be at Ben Gurion airport next week. Who can I speak with about getting entry into baggage claim/passport control area?

Why not just book a refundable ticket?

Would it work to book a service that picks her up from the gate like Menashe Sopher's Airport service and then once they pick her up you can see her after?

She will be very disoriented seeing only people she doesn't know. I will do that if I need to but would rather go myself.
