Flights to Frankfurt

Are you searching for cheap flight tickets to Frankfurt?

Frankfurt is Germany's fifth-largest city and is most commonly renowned for its vibrant cultural scene. Conveniently, flights don't take all that long and you don’t have to worry about adjusting to time zones either. The time in Frankfurt is just one hour ahead of the UK, making it easy to adjust.

Whether for business or pleasure, there’s plenty for you to see and experience in this bustling city. The metropolis has a distinct cosmopolitan vibe but the streets are adorned with various galleries, museums and architectural beauties. On top of this, there are historical sites like the Senckenberg Natural History Museum and the iconic Goethe House, which was the former home of German author Johann Wolfgang von Goethe.

If you're exploring Frankfurt in the warmer months, you'll see the city's green and open parkland in all its glory. A must-see spot is Palmengarten, which boasts vast botanical gardens and is a great place to unwind.

However, if you're partial to sampling the local cuisine on your holidays abroad, you should head straight for Frankfurt's iconic Kleinmarkthalle. This covered market has been going for decades and now has over 150 independent stalls selling local cheeses and meats. One of the best dishes on offer is Fleischwurst, a tasty sausage in a roll topped with mustard or Frankfurt's renowned 'green sauce', made from sour cream, egg and seven herbs.

For the keen shoppers among you, it's worth noting that Frankfurt is the perfect location to shop 'til you drop. The Zeil is your go-to hub for mainstream retailers, while Bornheim's Berger Strasse is the ideal place if boutiques and indie stores are more in your bag.

Here is a tip for you: booking your flight and hotel at the same time and not separately can make you save up to 40%.

If you have already purchased your flight and you’re only looking for a hotel, you can find it here.

The typical minimum age for an unaccompanied minor to fly to Frankfurt alone is five.


How can I travel with the assistance dog?

How do I know if my flight is eligible for compensation?

If the distance of your flight to Frankfurt is below 932 miles, your flight must be two hours late to receive compensation in the form of food and drink vouchers or accommodation. If your flight is between 933-2174 miles, the window for compensation opens when your flight is three hours late. Flights delayed longer than this will be due further compensation so long as the delay is the fault of the airline. You can typically expect £220 per person at this stage. Five-hour-long delays require your airline to issue a full refund within a week of your date of departure.

However, you'll be touching down at one of two Frankfurt airports – Frankfurt (HRA) and Frankfurt-Hahn (HNN).

Arriving at Frankfurt Airport

Frankfurt Airport (FRA) is the sixth-busiest airport in Europe and has its own train station, which offers local services into Frankfurt city centre, as well as direct routes to nearby Mainz, Wiesbaden, Hanau and Aschaffenburg. The train station is situated on the ground floor, beneath Terminal 1.

If you’d prefer to take a public bus into Frankfurt's city centre, there are many connections available opposite Terminal 1 at the arrival level. Meanwhile, car rental opportunities are plentiful, with many leading car hire brands operating out of Frankfurt Airport. The airport is within easy reach of the Autobahn via A3, A67 and A5, all of which run directly here.

The facilities in Frankfurt Airport are solid, with plenty of amenities for arrivals. A healthy mix of cafes, bars and restaurants can be found in both terminal buildings. Bureau de Change and ATMs are also readily available for the exchange of euros.

Arriving at Frankfurt-Hahn Airport

Although Frankfurt-Hahn Airport (HNN) is well outside of Frankfurt city centre, it's within easy reach by car via the A66, A60 and A61. Bus services are another key transport option for arrivals, with public bus routes running directly to Frankfurt, as well as Koblenz and Mainz. The shuttle bus from Frankfurt city centre to Frankfurt-Hahn takes approximately two hours and ten minutes.

Buchbinder Rent-a-Car and Europcar are both situated within the terminal for those keen to hire a car for the weekend.

Given its somewhat remote location, it's no surprise that Frankfurt-Hahn is not connected to the city's rail network, leaving car, bus or taxi the only credible options for getting around.

Within the terminal, there are several fast-food outlets as well as a café specialising in traditional baked goods, including Laugen pastries. Comparatively, this airport has a very small terminal when you consider Frankfurt Airport's stature, with only 12 gates. Nevertheless, you'll be able to make the most of free Wi-Fi.
