What are the common restrictions are imposed on a heavy discounted economy fare ticket in an international flight.
What happens with the connecting flight (Different Airline) if the first flight comes late. Does the connecting flight flies timely without waiting for the first one? If so, then what the passengers do, does the airline takes the responsibility to get an alternative or passengers have t do it themselves? Suppose the airline is Lufthansa/Emirates/United airlines.
Most of the deeply discounted fares are basically non refundable – no changes etc…
Say if your Luftansa flight is delayed and you miss your Emirates – normally if it was Lufthansa fault, say mechanical, they do have to reprotect you
if all your airlines were issued on Lufthansa ticket. If you booked them individually, Lufthansa would not be responsible for you missing your connection regardless of the reason. Emirates and United due to missed flights may allow you to still stand by for a later flight

As long as the flights are on the same ticket the airlines will re-book you on a later flight without you having to pay any fees.
If you buy two separate tickets you need to leave plenty of time between flights in case of delays. The second airline has no responsibility to help you if the first airline is late getting you to the connection airport.

The incoming airline is responsible for re-booking you…assuming that you had a legal connecting time to start with, and that you are on a through ticket
Has nothing to do with restrictions on discounted fares
