Air Travel to Frankfurt
The Frankfurt Airport has dubbed itself Airport City, a brash but not unsubstantiated claim for Germany's most important air hub. Although many international travelers pass through this common layover stop, the airport also provides convenient public transportation links into Frankfurt and beyond. A variety of shops and restaurants and a handful of fully reclining lounge chairs make long layovers here a little easier.
