Frankfurt Main Airport, opened in its modern form in 1936 and expanded significantly through the postwar decades, is Germany's busiest airport and one of the largest aviation hubs in the world by passenger volume and cargo throughput. Straddling the city's southwestern edge, it serves as the primary intercontinental gateway for Central Europe and the main hub for Lufthansa and its Star Alliance partners. Its scale, dual-terminal layout, and on-site rail connections make it a self-contained travel city capable of handling over 70 million passengers per year.
- Terminal 1 — The original and larger terminal, divided into three concourses (A, B, C), handling Lufthansa, Star Alliance carriers, and most long-haul international traffic.
- Terminal 2 — A modern satellite terminal connected to Terminal 1 by a people-mover, primarily serving non-alliance and leisure carriers including Condor and various charter operators.
- S-Bahn lines S8 and S9 connect the airport to Frankfurt city centre (Hauptbahnhof) in approximately 11 minutes
- Long-distance ICE and IC trains depart from the underground Fernbahnhof station directly beneath Terminal 1
- Regional and intercity bus services operate from the ground-level central bus station
- Taxi ranks are located at arrivals exits of both terminals with metered fares into the city
- Car rental desks from all major providers are available in Terminal 1 and Terminal 2 arrival halls
- Ride-hailing services including Uber and local alternatives operate from designated pick-up zones
- Sheraton Frankfurt Airport Hotel & Conference Centre
- Hilton Frankfurt Airport
- NH Frankfurt Airport
- Steigenberger Airport Hotel Frankfurt
- Marriott Frankfurt Airport
Terminal 1 offers an extensive range of options from quick-service chains like McDonald's and Burger King to sit-down restaurants and German brasseries in the transit zones of all three concourses. Terminal 2 has a more compact but well-curated food court with international options and a dedicated bar area near the gates. Outside the terminal, the nearby Raunheim and Kelsterbach districts offer traditional Hessian taverns and mid-range restaurants for travellers staying overnight.
- Allow extra time for security at Terminal 1 Concourse A and B during morning peak hours, as queues can stretch significantly between 06:00 and 09:00
- The AIRail transfer allows Lufthansa passengers to check luggage at Frankfurt Hauptbahnhof and travel to the airport on a boarding-pass-integrated rail ticket
- Duty-free shopping in the non-Schengen zones of Concourse B offers competitive spirits and perfume prices, but Schengen-to-Schengen travellers have limited retail access
- The airport has a dedicated transit hotel (Sheraton) airside in Terminal 1 for passengers needing a short rest between long-haul connections
