Travelling to Frankfurt in May

[Phlox]

Any tips, going to visit someone on outskirts. Best airline etc. Time to book etc. Will get train from Frankfurt to Herborn.

Haven't been to Germany in a long time. Nor flown in a while.

I wouldn't fly, unless you're particularly keen to - I recently went via Eurostar, changing at Brussels, for ?110 return, five hours and change door to door (from St.P Intl). Factor in the time to get to the airport, the long check-in time demanded, time to disembark aircraft etc etc and it's quicker, way more comfortable and civilised and with direct trains to St.P Intl from Peckham and Denmark Hill so easy. If you time it right you might even have time to knock back a cheeky Lambic at one of the Brussels bars! Recommended.

For a nice trip into the countryside:

There or somewhere in town you need to eat a dish called 'Gr?ne So?e' (green sauce).

The Kleinmarkt Halle is a nice market hall in the middle of town.

And all of the ibvious sights, R?merberg, Schirn (art museum) ...

Would much rather go by train...... I guess you could book straight through to the destination station.

Have only taken Eurostar to Paris numerous times.

Do it Phlox, it's so much nicer.

I fly to Frankfurt 4-=5 times a year. Go from City Airport, get there less than an hour before flight so same as train.

I saw that there were some BA flights from there.
