Frankfurt Airport (FRA) is Germany’s primary international hub, handling many long-haul and transfer flights and serving major carriers alongside Lufthansa’s heavy presence; a secondary, low-cost focus can be found at nearby Frankfurt-Hahn (HHN), which typically caters to budget airlines and charter services. FRA sits about 12–15 km west of the city center, with fast regional train and S-Bahn connections taking roughly 10–15 minutes to central Frankfurt (fares vary by zone), plus regional buses and taxis that can take 20–30 minutes depending on traffic. Frankfurt-Hahn is farther out (around 120 km) and usually requires a shuttle or longer drive. Pros: FRA offers extensive connections, lounges and amenities; cons: it can be busy and sometimes pricier for convenience, while HHN can be cheaper but less convenient and slower to reach.
