Do you have any tips for my flight to Frankfurt?
We've pulled together all the info you need to make your flight a pleasant experience. Follow our tips and you'll be zooming through airport security and enjoying Frankfurt in no time. What to pack in your hand luggage:
  • A plane ride can be a stress-free experience if you take the right stuff. First things first, you'll need basic toiletries, such as a toothbrush and hairbrush, a fresh set of clothes and a good novel. Next, find room in your carry-on bag for your laptop, a charger, medications and maybe a cosy neck pillow too. Lastly, be sure to bring your passport, travel documents and some cash.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
  • Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated by security. Sharp or pointed objects, like your pocket knife, and products which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosols and matches, are also not allowed.
What to wear on a flight:
  • The aisles of a plane are no place for a fashion parade. Layer your clothing and choose shoes that are roomy, flat and easy to remove.
  • It's likely you've heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity. To minimize your risk on board, drink lots of water, consider wearing compression socks and keep your legs and feet moving.
How to get through airport security fast when flying to Frankfurt?
A little pre-planning before you get to the airport will make your getaway to Frankfurt quick and painless. Below you'll find some useful tips and tricks for a swift journey past security:
  • First things first. Your passport and travel documents will need to be inspected by airport security. Have them easily accessible so you don't hold up the queue.
  • The X-ray machine comes next. Remove anything on you that is likely to set off the scanner's alarm. This includes things like headphones or earphones, as well as heavy jackets or coats. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
  • All your electronics, including your tablet and phone, must also be scanned.
  • Any gels or liquids, such as perfume or hand cream, that you want to take on board must be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
  • It's also likely that you'll need to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a clever idea.
  • Sharp items can't be taken on board. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them in your checked bags.

Best time to go to Frankfurt

Peak Season:

Frankfurt's peak season is extensive, ranging from April to May, September to October, and December. Flights and accommodation can be very expensive during these months, so it is important to book well in advance in order to take part in one of the many exciting annual events, such as the Henninger Rennen bicycle race in May, the Herbst Dippemess fall festival in September, or the Christmas Fair in December. If you do not book in advance, inexpensive accommodation and flights to the Gold Coast can be tricky to find during this time.

Shoulder Season:

From June through August, many locals go on holiday, and so the prices of accommodation and flights to Frankfurt drop. Although the city is relatively quiet during this period, the weather is pleasant, making it a great time to stroll through the Stadtwald, browse the flea market along Sachsenhausen, or take a Frankfurt City ‘Hop-on Hop-off’ Tour.

Off Season:

The chilly weather from January to March keeps tourists at bay. Flights are at their cheapest during this period, and the city still has plenty to offer in terms of indoor activities. Because of the cold, this is an excellent time to visit Saint Bartholomeus' Cathedral, tour the Architektur Museum, and explore the Goethe Haus und Museum.
