Cheap flights from Tokyo to Frankfurt

The expensive stretch comes around the winter holidays, when school breaks and festive travel push demand up, and it can also bite during summer holiday periods. January is where fares bottom out on this route, so moving your trip a few weeks after the holidays may help. Weekday departures often avoid the worst queues; compare dates across the full price calendar, which runs from October through September.

The route is served by ten carriers, and no single type dominates: Air India, Miat Mongolian Airlines, Oman Air, China Eastern Airlines, Air China, Vietnam Airlines, Saudi Arabian Airlines, Aero Mongolia, Srilankan Airlines and Thai Airways Intl all appear on connecting itineraries. Some sell full-service fares; others price the seat first and charge separately for baggage, meals or seat choice, so compare what each fare includes before you pay. Watch connection times and whether bags are checked through, especially when one booking combines carriers.

Arrange your onward transport before you land, because Frankfurt has two arrival airports. Frankfurt International is the main airport with rail and bus links into the city, while Hahn Airport lies much farther out and needs a bus or train. Check your booking before travel, keep your documents handy, and allow time for the transfer if your flight lands at Hahn.
