About This Route
Frankfurt blends a skyscraper skyline with a reconstructed medieval old town along the Main River. As a major hub it's an easy, well-connected gateway into Germany and beyond.
Frankfurt is a major transatlantic gateway, and nonstop flights from New York take roughly eight hours into one of Europe's biggest hubs. Lufthansa and United carry most of the traffic from JFK and Newark, making onward connections across Germany and beyond simple. Fares generally soften in March, April and October, away from summer and the winter holidays. Germany is within Schengen, and the six-hour time gap means an overnight departure and a morning arrival. Frankfurt Airport is large, so allow extra time if you're connecting. As always, comparing JFK and EWR pricing can surface a better deal.
Pro tip: Book 3-6 weeks in advance for the best deals. Tuesdays and Wednesdays are typically the cheapest days to fly on this route. Avoid traveling during peak periods like Thanksgiving, Christmas, and spring break for lower fares.
