Frankfurt Airport (FRA) is Germany’s primary international hub and a major transfer point for long-haul and European services, so it typically hosts a mix of full-service network carriers, Star Alliance partners and several low-cost operators. The airport sits about 12–15 km (roughly 15–25 minutes by car) southwest of the city center; regional trains (S-Bahn lines S8/S9) usually take about 15–20 minutes and run frequently, while express, regional and long-distance trains link the airport to the wider Rhine‑Main area in similar times for modest fares. Taxis and ride-hailing can be quicker but cost more. Pros: extensive airline choice, plentiful lounges and connections; cons: terminals and security can be busy and walking distances are sometimes long.
Dresden Airport (DRS) is a compact regional gateway that typically handles a mix of short-haul European services, seasonal leisure routes and some low-cost carrier operations rather than being a major international hub. It sits about 9 km (roughly 20–30 minutes) north of Dresden city centre, with regular S-Bahn and regional trains, taxis and shuttle buses providing connections; expect public-transport fares to be modest and taxi rides to cost noticeably more. The airport’s small footprint can make for quick transfers and short walks, though choices for in-terminal shopping and lounges are limited compared with larger hubs. Travelers usually trade a bit of comfort and fewer nonstop options for convenience and generally competitive fares.
