Frankfurt Airport to Frankfurt Main HB |
|
my wife and I will be arriving at 1:25 p.m. at Frankfurt Airport and want to get to Zurich. There is a train from Airport train station to Zurich at 1:54 but that is way too close for comfort. Next train to Zurich from airport is at 5:54 p.m. - too long to wait. There are earlier trains from Frankfurt Main direct to Zurich. Question - how convenient and how long to take a taxi from airport to Main HB. Also, There must be many express trains from airport to Main HB but we'll have quite a bit of luggage. Suggestions? Thanks, Jim |

Did you check the German rail site www.bahn.de/international/view/en/index.shtml There is a train at 14:54 with 2 changes and one at 15:37 with one change. I can't see any that go directly to Zurich from the airport. They either go through Frankfurt main station or a combination of Swiss cities. Not much point in the expense of a taxi between the airport and the main station in Frankfurt when you have a perfectly good train service. There are at least 6 trains an hour. Don't really understand your point about luggage. If you are willing to get on one train with it then why not two? | ||||||

DB timtable reiseauskunft.bahn.de/bin/traininfo.exe/en/ From: FRA To: Zuerich > Next train to Zurich from airport is at 5:54 p.m. There are hourly connections to Zürich departing at :54. Some have 1 change of trains (Basel), some 2 (Mannheim and Basel). Mannheim is easy as both trains stop at the same platform. No need to travel to Frankfurt Hbf first. Wrong direction and not the shortest transfer times (a huge terminus station). > Also, There must be many express trains from airport to Main HB but we'll have quite a bit of luggage. There are more regional trains between the airport and Hbf. These are also faster in this case. Also easier if you have lot's of luggage as you can just park it for the short hop in the big door rooms. | ||||||

Thank you so much. Those trains didn't even show up on Rail Europe. Jimcelia | ||||||
