Flights to Frankfurt: the best tips from KAYAK users' own experiences

Insights shared by verified travelers who flew to Frankfurt 
NandiniFlew with Lufthansa-Aug 2026
Worth paying for the extra legroom in economy. The regular economy seating in UA is too cramped for a long haul flight
RoyaFlew with Lufthansa-Jun 2026
Give yourself enough time if you have connecting flight cause emigration takes about 1 hr by itself
Verified travelerFlew with Condor-Aug 2026
Allow extra time for connections in Franfurt. We barely made our connecting flight.
GabrielFlew with Condor-Jun 2026
Bring your own food, show up a couple hours early and be prepared.
Verified travelerFlew with Condor-Jun 2026
Frankfurt airport was very disappointing. We had a connecting flight and had to go through another round of security where every second bag was set aside for extra inspection. It took 20 minutes to get it done, we almost missed our flight and nobody cared. No air conditioning at the airport and the restrooms were out of toilet paper. Not enough seating at boarding considering the sizes of the planes flying out.
KarenFlew with Lufthansa-Jul 2026
I wish I'd know how big the airport was so I couldn't have booked assistance since I've got asthma. It was not good rushing through in the heat trying to get to the gate in an unformilliar airport.
RobertFlew with United Airlines-Jun 2026
Be prepared to pay for luggage when you buy your ticket and be charged again at the terminal.
KenFlew with Lufthansa-May 2026
Get a good blow up seat cushion if traveling in economy
Verified travelerFlew with United Airlines-Apr 2026
Bring your own entertainment. Prepare for cramped seating.
ChristineFlew with Lufthansa-May 2026
The lines at Frankfurt were ridiculously long. Give yourself plenty of time.
Verified travelerFlew with Lufthansa-Jan 2026
Sadly since I never could reschedule that flight I don’t know but maybe when possible allow more than a 2 hour layover if there is a possibility of bad weather.
PawanFlew with Lufthansa-Jan 2026
Food- be specific if you dont want to eat Meat. And the vegetarian choices are really bad. Pack exact 23 KG/ 50 LB or else you have to pay
MichaelFlew with Lufthansa-Mar 2025
Get seats in a back, more chances to get empty seat next to you
Jean-LouisFlew with Lufthansa-Oct 2024
If flying business class look for seats towards the front of aircraft. Sleeper seats are comfortable but nothing like Deltas current Business Class configuration.
Verified travelerFlew with United Airlines-Sep 2024
Be prepared to wait in long line for boarder control. Allow enough time for your layover
Verified travelerFlew with Lufthansa-Aug 2024
The 747-8 had a galley where you could order food and drinks outside the normal schedule. Very convenient if you have an aisle seat.
Verified travelerFlew with Lufthansa-Jul 2024
Your airlines was convent to travel on but should try to go directly through your airlines to avoid extra extra fees and charges by third parties. Can you book flights directly at airport for future flights?
MedaFlew with Lufthansa-Jun 2024
Make sure your passport isn’t expiring within 6 months of your flight. Check in online. And get an e visa
MichaelFlew with Condor-Jun 2024
Bring snacks, make sure you follow luggage guidelines,
CarolFlew with Lufthansa-Jul 2024
Get to airport at least 1.5 hr early.
Verified travelerFlew with Lufthansa-Apr 2024
If you don't have checked luggage, no need to be in a rush to line up. There will be a spot for your little carry-on rollie bag, so relax until the line is down to board the plane.
Verified travelerFlew with United Airlines-Mar 2024
Pay extra for a little better seating. Definitely worth it
HelenFlew with Lufthansa-Dec 2023
Board the flight with everyone since they don’t seem to check and the boarding scanning is no longer a scan of your documents. You walk through the gate one person at a time, even the kiddos. Luggage bins were so full. Check it in and don’t forget air tags. That provided great comfort to know your luggage’s proximity.
