Peak Season:

The peak season in Frankfurt is rather large, spanning from April to May, September to October, then again in December. Tourists flock to this city in order to bask in the beautiful weather and take part in one of the numerous international festivals and conventions that take place during these months.

Shoulder Season:

The months of June through August make up the shoulder season in this city. Like the peak season, there are many exciting festivals to enjoy. However, many locals go on holiday during these months, causing a drop in the price of accommodations and flights to Frankfurt. Because the city is relatively empty, visitors have a lot more freedom to enjoy one of the many outdoor pastimes, like swimming, skating and bicycling.

Off Season:

From January to March the weather in Frankfurt becomes exceedingly brisk and because of this, tourists avoid the city. If you do not mind a bit of chilly weather, this is one of the best times to visit as flights become inexpensive, and many of the indoor activities come alive.

Do you have any tips for my flight to Frankfurt?
We've pulled together all the info you need to make your flight a pleasant experience. Follow our tips and you'll be zooming through airport security and enjoying Frankfurt in no time. What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • A plane ride can be a stress-free experience if you take the right stuff. First things first, you'll need basic toiletries, such as a toothbrush and hairbrush, a fresh set of clothes and a good novel. Next, find room in your carry-on bag for your laptop, a charger, medications and maybe a cosy neck pillow too. Lastly, be sure to bring your passport, travel documents and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated by security. Sharp or pointed objects, like your pocket knife, and products which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosols and matches, are also not allowed.

What to wear on a flight:

  • The aisles of a plane are no place for a fashion parade. Layer your clothing and choose shoes that are roomy, flat and easy to remove.
  • It's likely you've heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity. To minimize your risk on board, drink lots of water, consider wearing compression socks and keep your legs and feet moving.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Frankfurt?
A little pre-planning before you get to the airport will make your getaway to Frankfurt quick and painless. Below you'll find some useful tips and tricks for a swift journey past security:

  • First things first. Your passport and travel documents will need to be inspected by airport security. Have them easily accessible so you don't hold up the queue.
  • The X-ray machine comes next. Remove anything on you that is likely to set off the scanner's alarm. This includes things like headphones or earphones, as well as heavy jackets or coats. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
  • All your electronics, including your tablet and phone, must also be scanned.
  • Any gels or liquids, such as perfume or hand cream, that you want to take on board must be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
  • It's also likely that you'll need to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a clever idea.
  • Sharp items can't be taken on board. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them in your checked bags.
