Cheap Flights from Frankfurt to Cape Town — $517

Frankfurt Airport (FRA) is Germany’s principal international hub and a major European transfer point, serving a wide mix of full-service carriers and alliances alongside some low-cost operators. Located about 12–14 km southwest of the city center, it’s typically reachable by S-Bahn and regional trains in roughly 10–15 minutes from Hauptbahnhof, with fares generally falling into the moderate range for public transit; taxis and ride-shares usually take 20–30 minutes depending on traffic and cost more. The airport offers extensive facilities and good onward connectivity, which can mean longer walking distances and busy terminals during peak hours; it’s ideal for passengers prioritizing flight choice and connections but can be less convenient for those seeking a compact, quick-in/out experience.

Cape Town International is the city’s primary international gateway and a full-service hub that typically handles most long-haul and regional carriers, with some low-cost airlines also operating.

The airport tends to be perceived as mid-range to premium in pricing for on-site services, with budget options available in public transport. Pros: wide route choice and modern facilities; cons: can be busy during peak tourist season and road traffic may affect transfer times.
