Frankfurt Airport (FRA) is Germany’s primary international hub and a major European transfer point, typically handling a mix of full-service network carriers (notably Lufthansa) and many long-haul connections; budget carriers also operate on some routes.

Taxis and ride-hailing can take 20–30 minutes depending on traffic and cost noticeably more. Pros: excellent transfer facilities, plentiful lounges and frequent services; cons: busy terminals and potential for longer walking times between gates during peak periods.

It’s typically positioned as a full-service international airport rather than a budget-only field, so fares can vary widely depending on carrier and timing. The terminals sit roughly 15–20 km from central Chennai; common transfer options include prepaid taxis or app cabs (about 30–60 minutes depending on traffic), airport buses and suburban rail connections (30–50 minutes), with fares ranging from economical public-bus rates to mid-range taxi charges. Pros: well-equipped terminals and good connectivity for domestic and international flights. Cons: peak-hour traffic can lengthen transfers and some concourses can feel busy during holidays.
