Stuck in Frankfurt
Great info on this thread. Would appreciate some advice for a trip in later April on a weekday.
Arrive Frankfurt around 11:30 on LH F
Leave Frankfurt 9:10 pm same day on TG F
U.S. passport.
Questions.
1. Any suggestions for sightseeing in Frankfurt or elsewhere?
2. Any advice on great restaurants in Frankfurt for dinner?
3. Luggage. Have a rollerboard. Should I a) check it through to final destination, b) leave it at the LH F lounge, c) leave it somewhere else, d) drag it with me?
4. Best way in and out of the city.
5. How much time should I plan for getting back to the airport....security, immigration, etc.
Thanks in advance. S

3. Leave at luggage locker. Not sure lounge will let you leave.
4. Train is easiest. Right at FRA.
5. Depends on time of day, 1.5-2 hours before should be enough.

Questions.
1. Any suggestions for sightseeing in Frankfurt or elsewhere? I like Mainz.
2. Any advice on great restaurants in Frankfurt for dinner? Sorry, no. I like to try new places so I always eat in new places....
3. Luggage. Have a rollerboard. Should I a) check it through to final destination, b) leave it at the LH F lounge, c) leave it somewhere else, d) drag it with me? I would check it at a storage facility.
4. Best way in and out of the city. S-Bahn
5. How much time should I plan for getting back to the airport....security, immigration, etc. That time of day? If you feel lucky, an hour. I would give it 1.5 hours.
Thanks in advance. S Pleasure.

Thanks for all your great advice. I was able to leave my luggage in the LH F Lounge. They were very accommodating. Immigration and security were a breeze. From downtown the lounge only too about 40 minutes. I had a very pleasant afternoon in the city. It's a much nicer and quainter place than I had expected. Thanks again.
