Flights to Frankfurt
FRA · Frankfurt Airport
Frankfurt Airport is Germany's largest and Lufthansa's primary hub, sitting on the River Main with a direct rail link to the city centre in 15 minutes. Lufthansa runs nightly direct flights from Johannesburg and Cape Town, and Frankfurt is the default European connection for onward travel to Munich, Berlin, Zurich and most German and Central European secondary cities. Business travel dominates the route; leisure demand rises during the late-November to December Christmas market season.
