connecting to the train at Frankfurt airport
 
Hello

I am arriving at the Frankfurt airport scheduled for 8:30 in Terminal 2 from the US. I need to go to the Fernbahnhof (train station) in the airport for a train to Stuttgart. There is a train leaving at 9:54 and again at 10:54. Would I be able to make the 9:54 train, taking in to account passport control and picking up my luggage?

Thanks so much for any help

I would say that's plenty of time unless your plane is late. I think Frankfurt is an efficient airport (although others would disagree) and haven't had to wait for luggage or passport control.

J62 - what was the point of copying what I said?

It's about a 20-minute max walk at normal gate to the Fernbhahnhof - the long-distance train station in Frankfurt Airport - you pass by first the older Regional train station - Lokalbahnhof or some suc name with just S-Bahns and local trains. Follow the train pictorgram with Fernbahnhof on it - actually across the road from the terminal I think and linked by corridors. should be able to make 9:54.

sorry adrienne. you worded well, and it was basically the same as I started writing. By using your words I was simply stating my sentiments exactly. I apologize for offending you.

No offense taken - I just didn't understand what was going on. Thanks for the compliment!
