ARRIVING AT FRANKFURT AIRPORT (FRA) - GOING TO LONG DISTANCE TRAIN STATION

[@MuchoHop]

Several of you have asked how long it takes to go to the Long Distance Train Station. Well, it depends. From Terminal 1, Concourse A (Departures!!!!) it's about 15 minutes. BUT, if you are arriving by plane, depending on what terminal and gate you are arriving at, it will take longer or shorter. If you land at Terminal 2, you will have to get a bus or SkyLine to Terminal 1, and that can take 10-15 minutes. The unknown is the gate you will arrive at. If it is far from the exit, you will have to walk quite a bit. If your gate is close to the exit, your walk will be shorter. And then you have to consider if you will have to go through Passport Control, pick up a bag at Baggage Claim, or go through Customs. So, there is no exact time. HOWEVER, if you travel with carryon only, you arrive at Terminal 1, your gate is close to the exit, you already have your train ticket, and you do not have to go through passport control or customs, it will take a minimum of 1 hour, that is, knowing your way around and knowing how to find your track. This is door to door, plane to train. I hope this answers the question.

I'm travelling alone for the first time and this video is so helpful. Thank you so much :)

[@NexAnomaly]

I personally prefer longer videos showing everything. I love you when you make videos at Frankfurt Airport. It reminds me of all my travels through there. Thank you!!

[@MuchoHop]

Great! I know how you feel. I watch my own videos sometimes to relive places I've been to. LOL. I sort of like the whole story in one video but I feel nobody is going to watch it. Thanks for letting me know you prefer the complete trip! and thanks for watching!!

[@petakenworthy2066]

I love the longer videos with detailed information. You never which piece of information people are confused about and it helps to see it before we leave home - to know what to expect. Thank you for the videos!

[@MuchoHop]

Great! Thanks for letting me know.

[@BigfistJP]

I want to thank you for all the information about the Frankfurt airport. I cannot begin to tell you how useful it was. We just got back from Frankfurt and I used your videos to know how to get from Terminal 2 to the Fernbahnhof and how to check in at Terminal 2 on the way home. I would have been seriously confused without your videos.

[@sagitaria1185]

The more details the better all together in one trip. it's easy to follow.

[@mro2132]

Am going back to Frankfurt again in two weeks. Thank you for pointing out where the rental cars are located. Thanks for the new video.

[@MuchoHop]

Ahhh, great! Enjoy your stay in Frankfurt. Glad the video helped!

Thanks!

[@fiorellalopez7907]

Thank you so much!! This is my first trip alone and this video really helped me to be familiarised with this big airport. Personally, I prefer longer and detailed videos:))))

[@c.o.7508]

Thank you, you helped both my daughters…. Step by step for those who have never been there. God bless!

[@MuchoHop]

Glad I was able to help. God bless you, too. Thanks 🤗

[@simonsykes4688]

I was searching for this exact information. The length was perfect. I wanted all turns, all details, no guessing. This will be my first arrival my first time in Europe. Will be jet lagged and stressed out, now I won't have to puzzle out directions to the trains. Thanks!

[@MuchoHop]

So glad this video was exactly what you needed! No need to stress. Just go with plenty of time and notice the signs. Try to enjoy the experience! Have a great time in Europe!!

[@Kimbaface]

I love videos like this. It helps a lot to watch someone do something beforehand so I have a visual of what I'm looking for. I also got a sense that it would take a good amount of time from plan to long-distance train station so I can have a realistic sense of my timetable. (Also, I do land Terminal 2 so I now know there will be added time with the bus.) Also, spare no detail. Even if videos get a little longer, you may be providing just the bit of information someone wants. For example, some people may want to see you use the ticket machine. I'm a pro with DB so I don't need to see that but wouldn't mind if you covered that as well.

[@MuchoHop]

So glad you liked the video. What you said about making longer videos because different people may need different bits of information makes total sense. I never thought of it that way. I just don't want to bore people and don't want my viewers to spend time looking for the part that interests them. Many of my viewers like the longer video, from the time I leave my house or hotel to the time I reach my house or hotel. I thought it would be easier if I did short videos of all these bits separately. I guess both are good, LOL. Thanks for watching!!

[@hubblehosting8862]

Seems like a clean and quiet airport compared to others.

[@sedrichaynes]

I'm traveling overseas for the first time alone , but this Video helped SOOO much thank you ..

I'm so glad!

[@marquitaparker5362]

I like the longer video. And this was very helpful. I'm searching to see if you have a video navigating the mannheim station.

[@peternasby1722]

Very good i like the full run down when you leave you home ,all the way through to where you are going it remindss me of our long journey from Hoek Van Der Holland to Berlin which they dont do anymore

[@stevethepiper]

I have watched several of your videos and they make me feel at ease. Seeing you walk thru the airport following the signs make me a little familiar so when I arrive it is almost like I had been there before. I would say maybe the shorter versions would be better but this one was good so I am probably not much help on the question you asked. Keep up the good work.

[@mounabalghouthi5869]

Thank you for the video. It helped me navigate the airport in my last trip.

[@rosehernandez5927]

Thank you Ms MuchoHop. This info is very helpful and helps alleviate the stress of going to a new place for the first time and setting expectations.

[@Beyblade0battles]

this video information has saved me! there was someone who told me (with good intentions) that the train station nearest to the airport is 30 mins away from taxi. Turns out that person didn't know that this long distance station exists right here haha!

[@MuchoHop]

People get confused. There are TWO main Frankfurt Train Stations, the one at Frankfurt Airport (Frankfurt Flughafen (Fernb or Long Distance Station)) and the one in Frankfurt City Center (Frankfurt Hauptbahnhof (Hbf)), this last one is about 20-30 minutes by car.

[@douba123456]

Hello, thank you for these videos. They helped me a lot on my travels in Germany. Could you please one day show how to transfer at Frankfurt airport from lond distance trains to long distance buses? I can't figure that out yet. Many connections from Czech rep. to western parts of Germany are via Frankfurt airport using transfer from DB IC buses to DB trains.

[@douba123456]

EDIT: Longer videos are great. "Door to door" is always better for new traverlers.

[@MuchoHop]

Thank YOU for watching. I'm so glad my videos have helped you. Interesting what you say about the buses. I could definitely do a video on that next time I am in Frankfurt. It might be a couple of months...but in the meantime, I have a video on Bus Travel in German that could help a bit. But I'll do one from Frankfurt, good idea. Thanks again. kzbin.info/www/bejne/mKXZh3eMeth6o8k

[@MuchoHop]

Door to door it will be! Everybody seem to prefer the longer video. So glad I asked. Thanks again!

[@Foxbat-yj1ex]

Though the beginning was a bit clumsy bcoz I wanted the video to start from the point collecting your luggage moving towards the Flughafen Fernbahnhof and that"s what you did. In 2018, I wanted to take the long distance train from the Frankfurt airport to Saarbrücken but some people at the airport gave me the wrong instructions. so I took a shuttle bus and ended up at Frankfurt Hauptbahnhof. Could you please tell me the distance from the luggage collection to the long distance train station Flughafen Fernbahnhof ? roughly what is the distance. It was a great effort from you not easy doing a video while you are walking. I think that video was fine bcoz longer videos has continuity, you did a good job. Thank you.

[@tiouifaycal8388]

I want to thank so mutch for this video cuz you show me the way how to reach the train station cuz i ll going to humburg next month; thank very match.and i hope ill see you for more video. fayçal

Great, glad you found it helpful! Enjoy your stay in Hamburg, it's a fantastic city. I have several videos of Hamburg.

[@thomasheusen2581]

I usually prefer the longer style videos as they have more continuity. However, for the really long videos such as your mountain adventures I think that having them split up is better. - I hope this helps :)

[@MuchoHop]

Yes, it helps!! Thanks for letting me know you prefer longer videos. It does make sense, what you say about the continuity. I have to keep that in mind. Thanks again!!

[@nuhajarju591]

Thanks for the Video interesting

[@evGuyFL]

Great videos. Thank you. I always travel to asia from MIA via FRA. How to reach Hauptbuhnhof station from FRA. Not many long distance trains (such as to Paris) go through this station.

[@anissaksouri6238]

very great video indeed but but i would rather go with regional to manheim because its cheaper and takes always a shortcut but your choice

[@MuchoHop]

The regional train is not as expensive as the ICE, that's for sure, but it takes longer. At least when I took it. Presently, they are doing construction on the train tracks and you have to take the regional train to Mannheim. Thanks for watching!!

[@azerty250moha7]

Thanks for this video.

[@Manbou141]

By the way what you did with the train was completely legal because even if your ticket has a certain train printed on it, you can take any under the condition that you will be late for more than 20 minutes at your destination taking the train printed on the ticket. But anyways, most DB personell handle issues like this quite relaxed.

[@MuchoHop]

Thanks for clearing this up for us. I've never had problems with the DB personnel. They are quite flexible. In this case, the first train was half empty so it made sense to take it. I wouldn't be taking anybody's seat. Plus, I paid for mine. In any case, different fares offer different benefits. Usually the more economic tickets cannot be changed, you have to take that train and that time. Other fares are more flexible, but you also pay for this service, these tickets are more expensive. But this was not my case. Thanks again for watching and for clearing this up.

Hey ma’m I have already been there but i have a question?If you have a connecting flight but you need your suitcase where should you go to take the connecting flight?

[@MuchoHop]

If you have a connecting flight you might not be able to get your suitcase as it usually goes to the final destination. When you check in your suitcase mention this to the airline agent OR just book 2 separate flights and you can pick up your suitcase after your first flight. This is in general, there are many other factors to consider.

[@marinahoward8774]

Hello! arriving at T1 and taking train to Manheim , should I buy my ticket at station or on app. I Thank you for your videos.

[@MuchoHop]

I would buy it on the app. The problem is always when there is a delay in your flight and then you miss your train. Once you land or enter the terminal you know it won't take more than an hour to get to the train station. It also depends on what gate you arrive at, if it is close or far from the exit, if you have to pick up checked luggage, if you have to go through passport control, etc. So once you are clear, get it on the app. I always check the train times ahead of time, to know the options I have.

Hello. Yes, the moving sidewalks as you call them go from the exit of Terminal 1 to the Long Distance Train Station. There is no shuttle that goes directly to the station. There is a lot of walking but these moving walkways help. You just stand on them and then be careful when you get on and off.
