Frankfurt pick up and drop off at FRA airport

 

Ground transportation to Frankfurt Airport

Home to a combination of WWII history and modern delights, Frankfurt Airport is a major international facility that’s become one of Germany’s busiest. The airport’s layout contains three terminals. Terminal 1 offers access to four concourses and three levels as well as an underground train station and parking garage, while the newer Terminal 2 offers a more modern look with two concourses and two levels. The terminals are connected by the SkyLine walkway, with access to the walkway being at Terminal 1C and Terminal 2D. A very small third terminal called the First Class Terminal also exists, and is exclusively used for Lufthansa flights. The various buildings surrounding the airport are referred to as Airport City due to the abundance of office headquarters, conference rooms, hotels and shopping malls. Fixtures of Airport City include Airport City Mall, The Squaire and Gateway Gardens.
