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.

Great communication with an actual person! They will take you ANYWHERE, No pre-set routes to choose from!

Last minute plan change and Daytrip was our last resort so I chatted with them and had an immediate response from a real person, best situation ever. Never used Daytrip before but the reviews were incredible so we took the chance and booked a driver at like 11-12pm and by 7am the next morning when we woke, they found us a driver and the driver had already texed us making contact! Very impressed and will definitely use them again. We went from Dubrovnik, Croatia to Tivat, Montenegro.

Perfect Transport

Andreas did a great job picking us up from Pireaus Cruise Port and taking us to our rental in Spata. The three of us had been on a long cruise and had 9 pieces of luggage. He arrived in an appropriate vehicle and loaded and unloaded all of it. We are very happy with out decision to book with Daytrip.

Exactly what they promised

We used Daytrip.com for 4 trips within Italy. This door-to-door service is not inexpensive. That said: All 4 drivers arrived on time. All spoke fluent English. All were excellent drivers, and all were kind and considerate. Lots of other things went wrong on this trip, but Daytrip.com did exactly what they promised.
