This is one of the most well-preserved of its kind in Europe, and a brief stroll around the complex will expose you to a range of different architectural styles and glimpses into how this peaceful place operated centuries ago.

About Frankfurt Airport

Frankfurt Airport is one of the most important international hubs in the world, with many intercontinental flight routes. It also boasts fantastic connections via rail and road transportation, making getting to the airport a breeze.

After you cover the distance from Baden-Baden to Frankfurt Airport, you will have plenty to explore in Europe’s 4th largest airport (and Germany’s primary airport).

The airport also emphasizes its accessibility, providing resources for those traveling with limited mobility or otherwise requiring assistance.

From Baden-Baden to Frankfurt Airport: travel tips

Ahead of your Baden-Baden to Frankfurt Airport transfer, there are a few things you can do to prepare that will ensure you have the smoothest trip possible.

Pay attention to live wait times

The Frankfurt Airport website publishes live wait times and anticipated security queues, making it easy for you to stay on track. You can also find all of the information you need to prepare for security, check on your flight status, and find out which terminal and hall you will need to be in depending on your departure gate.

Choose a private car service

To give yourself the easiest and most efficient travel day to the airport, choose a private car transfer with Daytrip and enjoy seamless door-to-door transportation in a clean, comfortable car exactly when you need it. You’ll receive help with your luggage on either end of the journey, and have the opportunity to stop along the way for any last-minute sightseeing you might otherwise have missed.

Plus, with a private car transfer you have much more flexibility in terms of booking, and in your arrival time at the airport. With public transportation, you are limited by the available timetables and you may end up having to spend much longer in the airport than you’d like to avoid risking a late arrival time. With a private driver, you have much more control over when you will be picked up, which is especially beneficial for those early morning flights when you want to savor every little bit of sleep and preparation before leaving your accommodation.

Make the most of your transfer

Consider adding a sightseeing stop to your transfer to take advantage of the last of your time in Germany and complete any last-minute trip wishlist items. Be sure to leave yourself plenty of time to get to the airport well in advance of your flight even with a sightseeing detour, and communicate your flight details to the Daytrip team.

It was a fantastic trip.

“We were extremely satisfied with the quality of service we received from Day Trip. We had two Day Trip rides on August 31 from Athens to Lefkada and September 7 from Lefkada back to Athens. Both trips included stops at scenic sites in Greece. Both drivers were excellent and accommodating. However, we’d especially like to recognize Panos Peppas, who was our driver from Lefkada to Athens. Panos was incredibly nice & pleasant and delivered outstanding customer service, which included handling all of luggage, providing us with cold waters throughout the trip, providing us protein bars, providing us with printed materials on the Corinth Canal (one of scenic stops), looking up and providing us with terminal & gate info for our flight back home and providing us with a recipe for tzatziki.”

Reasonably Priced and Safe Transportation

“Gonzalo from daytrip was our driver and he was absolutely amazing. He went over and beyond trying to locate us as our service wasn't so good on our phones. He patiently awaited our arrival to the lobby so he could take us from Tulum Dreams Resort to our other hotel in cancun an hour and a half away near the airport prior to our departure flight home. He was polite, respectful and kind. Made sure we were comfortable during our long ride. Fast and to the point. I recommend this company as finding a one way ride from Tulum to Cancun isn't easy or cheap and this company provides a great service for a great price. I will definitely be using them again whenever I'm in the Cancun/Tulum area. Thank you DayTrip and Gonzola.”

Daytrip never disappoints

“We were picked up by Marianna to drive us from Heraklion to Chania. The weather was terrible & due to this Marianna arrived a few minutes late. She contacted me to advise of this. Marianna lives in Chana and she made our trip very interesting by informing us of local things to do and see in Chania. Marianna is a safe driver and we all felt comfortable with the speed she drove at and how good her driving was in heavy rain. She is a lovely person with fluent English. We highly recommend Daytrips and if you are in Heraklion or Chania please make sure you ask for Marianna.”

Great way to travel and see some sights on the way

“We did not know what to expect with this trip and booked from Australia. We were initially looking for an easy way to travel from Granada to Malaga. We decided not to waste the opportunity to see something additional on our way. Miguel certainly exceeded our expectations. His English was excellent (unfortunately we speak very little Spanish), and he was very friendly and helpful. We thoroughly enjoyed hearing about the regions as we passed through and also discussing some of the local ways. Miguel took us to Antequera as planned and ensured we were able to easily get our tickets to the attractions without any sense of rushing us. We were picked up and dropped off punctually and really enjoyed our trip. Hopefully we will return to Spain and we can use this service again sometime.”

Excellent service

“We used the service twice while in Thailand. Extremely prompt and efficient customer service. Best rate being offered in Chiang Mai for the travels. Polite, punctual, professional and English speaking drivers. Clean, comfortable vehicles. Being a regular visitor to Thailand, this was hands down the best service. Most pleased with the company. I hope it sustains the excellence of service that was rendered to us.”
