Peak season:
Cheap flights to Frankfurt can be hard to find between May and October due to many business conventions, events, festivals and general high tourism. May usually sees the Waldchestag festival, known as Forest Day, which is a three-day folk festival. A combination of live music, food and drink as well as funfair rides makes it a fantastic event for families, tourists and locals. There is also the MainFest in August, which is a huge four-day festival. It attracts thousands of locals and tourists who enjoy fireworks, wine, rides, games, tombolas and much more. Then you have the Luminale Festival which occurs every two years and sees the city transform into a vibrant, lit up place. If you’re hoping to visit any of the festivals, make sure you secure your flight tickets well in advance as flights to Frankfurt will be expensive. It’s also a wise idea to arrange your accommodation early too.
Off season:
If you don’t mind stormy weather, then aim to secure your flight tickets between November to February. This is the winter period. As well as being able to find the cheapest flights to Frankfurt, you’ll also find darker days, rain, storms and colder weather.

You’ll want to make sure you’ve secured your flight tickets at least two months in advance of your trip to have a chance of finding the cheapest flights to Frankfurt. It’s also best aiming for either winter or summer for cheap flight tickets. Surprisingly, spring and autumn are generally more expensive than the summer due to the number of conferences and events that take place. If you are flexible, then you can find return flights to Frankfurt for as little as £20 a person. Sit on either side of the plane for views of the city as you approach. However, avoid sitting beside a wing as these can obscure your view.

Frankfurt Hahn Airport embodies the phrase “you get what you pay for”. It is small, has few amenities, shops and restaurants and its best-known resident is Ryanair.
It’s equidistant between Frankfurt and Luxembourg; 120km (75 miles) from both. It’s closer to Koblenz (approximately 70km (43 miles)) and Mainz (90km (56 miles)). Frankfurt Hahn has adequate public transport, but you’ll need to allow at least two hours to get to Frankfurt. Its remote location makes for cheap flights, however, so it’s popular with low-cost airlines such as Ryanair and Wizz Air.
If you’ve got time and are on a budget, this is a good alternative to the busy Frankfurt International Airport.
