Pro Tips

  • The ICE train from Frankfurt Airport is exceptional — avoid the city and go directly to your German destination.
  • Lufthansa's First Class Terminal is a separate building from the main terminal — a unique and extremely luxurious experience.
  • FRA connections between Terminal 1 and 2 require a bus shuttle — not connected airside. Allow extra time.
  • German engineering shows at FRA — the airport operates with notable precision, and on-time performance is among Europe's best.
  • Duty-free in Terminal 1 has excellent German wines, spirits, and chocolate.
  • The €4.90 S-Bahn to Hauptbahnhof is by far the best value transport to the city center.
  • Frankfurt's financial district is visible on final approach — the city's skyline is nicknamed 'Mainhattan.'
