Long layover in FRA:what to do?
 

Almost 10 hours to be exact. What`s my options to spend the time? And if anybody has a clear directions of a process of getting out/to the airport to Frankfurt or other interesting place, I`d appreciate that. And how`s the in/out through Immigration control works? I`ve been always a chicken to get out of the airport, but I think it`s time to do something different.

I would recommend a search in the Germany Forum of Flyertalk, where you will find several threads responding to this exact question with a number of interesting options.

There is a deck to view the airport in T2, and I think there is a bus tour behind the sences of the airport.

Immigration is very fast in FRA, except which passport do you have?

I have the US passport, is it fast?

Long layover in FRA: what to do?
 

Guten Tag!
I`m having 10 hours layover in FRA and would like to spend it wisely. Any suggestions? Does anyone has a clear explanation on how to get from/to city? What to do/what to see? And how`s Immigration process goes?
Danke

You can easily catch the train to downtown from FRA. I did this with a 4 hr layover, no problems. Had some nice Apfel strudel and walked around town.

apfel strudel sounds wonderful!
where is the train and how often does it go to/from the city? did you take all your stuff with you or left it at the airport?

Train info is here, frequent trains if I remember correctly.

I left my carryon at the airport.

Check your other bags on through with your connecting flight.


Here is an old thread about this.

Just ask anyone in the airport, they are very friendly and helpful and will point you in the right direction. Lufthansa customer service folks were great.

By me it always goes very fast, no questions ever asked

If you search for "FRA layover" in this forum you should find a number of threads on this topic..

Ask your question in one place - don't post in multiple forums (Miles Buzz, Europe and Germany).

You don't say when those 10 hours are-- daytime, nighttime

In general, get out of the airport. Take the s-bahn (fast subway train) to Frankfurt city or Mainz, about 30 min trip either way. There are threads on this question in the Germany forum.

Good point. I should arrive FRA around 11 AM, so I have pretty much all day to spend.

Weekday or Sunday? (This makes a LOT of difference in Germany!)

Friday:-)
