Overview
Frankfurt Airport is Germany's largest and busiest airport and one of the most important aviation hubs in the world. It is the main hub for Lufthansa and Star Alliance, with an enormous network of intercontinental routes. It is also a major cargo hub.
Transport to city center
Two railway stations on site offer S-Bahn services to Frankfurt's main station in about 15 minutes plus long-distance ICE trains, with taxis and buses also available.
Wi-Fi
Free unlimited WiFi is available throughout the terminals.
Lounges
Numerous lounges operate, especially in Terminal 1, including Lufthansa First Class and Senator lounges.
Security & customs
EU/EEA passport holders and eligible ePassport visitors can use the automated eGates. Germany is in Schengen, so intra-Schengen flights skip passport control; standard EU 100ml liquid rules apply.
Travel tips
Allow generous time for connections, as Frankfurt is large and security and passport queues can be long. Use the long-distance train station for fast onward travel across Germany.
