Dresden Airport (DRS) functions mainly as a regional and low-cost gateway for Saxony rather than a major international hub, handling a mix of leisure, business, and charter flights. Typical carriers include low-cost airlines and several European network carriers offering connections to hubs across Germany and the continent. The airport lies about 9 km north of Dresden city centre; a tram or S-Bahn trip usually takes around 20–30 minutes with single fares typically in the low euros, while taxis can run 20–30 minutes depending on traffic and are correspondingly pricier. Pros include a compact, easy-to-navigate terminal and short transfer times; cons can be fewer long-haul options and limited late-night services compared with larger German hubs.
Frankfurt Airport (FRA) is Germany’s primary international hub and a major European transfer point, serving a broad mix of full-service carriers (notably Lufthansa and many Star Alliance partners) alongside long-haul and regional operators. It’s located about 12–14 km west of the city center; journeys by S-Bahn typically take 10–15 minutes to central Frankfurt at moderate fares, while taxis and ride-shares can take 20–30 minutes and are usually pricier. The airport offers extensive lounges, shopping and connecting facilities, but can feel busy at peak times and security/transfer procedures may take longer than at smaller airports. Regional low-cost services sometimes use nearby Frankfurt–Hahn (further away), so compare options if budget and convenience both matter.
