Route on the map
When to fly
November usually has the lowest fares for this connection, so start your search there if your dates are flexible. School holidays, Christmas and the European summer travel period can all move prices, and fares often differ between midweek and weekend departures. Check the dated price calendar across several months, then compare the same weekday pattern before you settle on flights. Always confirm both airport names on the ticket, because the city pair alone does not tell you which combination you are buying.
Airlines and what to expect
TAP Portugal is one of the carriers on this route, alongside Latam Airlines Brasil, LATAM Airlines, Iberia, Air Europa, British Airways, KLM Royal Dutch Airlines, Azul, Boliviana de Aviacion and Lanperu. All flights connect rather than fly nonstop, and the connection point varies by carrier and fare. Check baggage, seat selection and change rules for each ticket, since inclusions differ even within the same airline. Compare the same route across several carriers before you book, because one connection can be much easier than another.
Arriving — Frankfurt
You may land at Frankfurt International or at Hahn Airport, and they are not the same place relative to the city. Frankfurt International is the main airport close to the centre, with rail and road links into town, while Hahn Airport is farther out and needs a longer transfer. Some connecting itineraries use Hahn, so read the airport name carefully when you compare fares. After arrival, allow time for the transfer and for passport formalities, and keep your onward transport plan flexible.
