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.

How to survive the flight to Frankfurt?
Depending on where you’re coming from, your flight to Frankfurt could be simple and straightforward or it could go on forever. We’ve compiled some handy hints that will help you start your next great escape on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • First of all, pack in your passport, official ID, wallet and daily medications. Next, you’ll need some entertainment to help pass the time. A thrilling book and a phone filled with your favourite shows are some wonderful options. If you hope to take a short nap, a comfy neck pillow and some earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, find room for a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes to ensure you arrive at your destination feeling fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • While the list of prohibited items differs between airlines, the general rule to follow is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, pocket knives, fireworks and fuel. Sports equipment like bows and arrows, and objects that could harm other people, such as firearms and ammunition, aren’t allowed in the cabin either.

What to wear on a flight:

  • The best way to ensure a comfortable flight is as simple as your choice in clothes. Prepare yourself for varying temperatures by bringing layers. This will keep you nice and warm if the cabin gets chilly. Shoes like flip flops and heels are best left in your checked suitcase. Even though they may be your favourites, opt for flat, closed-toed footwear like slip-ons. Your feet will thank you for it.
  • A serious condition by the name of DVT (deep vein thrombosis) can pose a risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clotting due to inactivity and poor circulation. Walking around the cabin and doing regular foot and leg exercises in your seat helps to prevent this occurring. Wearing a pair of compression socks or tights is also a wise idea.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Frankfurt?
The answer is simple — be organised. We’ve put together some helpful hints for an easy trip through airport security. Watch out Frankfurt, here you come:

  • Airport security personnel first need to determine that you have a valid ID and boarding pass before you’re allowed to proceed any further. Have them in your hand, ready for inspection.
  • Next up is the X-ray machine. Empty your pockets and remove anything that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes items like earphones or headphones, as well as your coat or jacket. They’ll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
  • Your electronic devices like laptops and phones will also need to go on a tray to be scanned. No need to worry though, you’ll be back online soon enough.
  • Any liquids or gels, such as toothpaste or perfume, that you want to take on board need to be in containers no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), zip-lock bag.
  • There’s a good chance you’ll be asked to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a clever idea.
  • Airlines won’t allow any sharp items or pocket knives to come on board with you. If you must bring these kinds of items, pack them safely in your checked luggage.
