Arrival: Frankfurt Airport (FRA) and getting into Frankfurt
Arrival is at Frankfurt Airport (FRA), and the first decision is how to reach the city. Frankfurt is Germany's financial capital on the Main river, and its airport (FRA) is one of Europe's largest hubs, only about 12 km south-west of the city centre with its own motorway junction and long-distance rail station; the skyline of the Bankenviertel, the rebuilt Römerberg old town and the Sachsenhausen cider taverns are all a short drive away. We provide airport transfers in Frankfurt with a driver at arrivals, and we also tell you honestly if the train or metro from the airport is the better choice for where you are staying.
Many passengers continue from Frankfurt to somewhere else. We provide those tickets too, so one WhatsApp conversation covers the whole itinerary.
Baggage, seats and classes on the Colombo to Frankfurt flight
Before you compare the Colombo to Frankfurt flight prices, compare what they carry. A fare with hand luggage only can look cheapest and end up dearer once a bag is added. Haqqi Tours can provide the fare that matches your bags: cabin bag only for a short trip, checked bag for a holiday, extra allowance for a long stay. Seat selection, meals and priority boarding are optional extras on many airlines; we tell you which are worth it.
- Meals included on full-service airlines; special meals ordered in advance on request
- Business class: bigger seat, meal, lounge, priority boarding - we send the cost beside economy
- Cabin bag on every fare; checked bag included on full-service fares, optional on low-cost ones
- Adding baggage at booking is cheaper than at the airport - we add it for you
Flying with children, families and groups from Colombo to Frankfurt
Families fly the Colombo to Frankfurt route with us week in, week out. Infants under two travel on a lap at a small fare; children have a seat and a child fare where the airline offers one; pushchairs are checked free at the gate on most airlines. We seat the family together, order children's meals where they exist and choose a departure time that suits nap and bedtime. For groups, we book the seats in one reservation and ask the carrier for a group fare where the numbers justify it.
Things to do in Frankfurt when you land
Frankfurt is Germany's financial capital on the Main river, and its airport (FRA) is one of Europe's largest hubs, only about 12 km south-west of the city centre with its own motorway junction and long-distance rail station; the skyline of the Bankenviertel, the rebuilt Römerberg old town and the Sachsenhausen cider taverns are all a short drive away. Start with the Kleinmarkthalle, the Römerberg and the Cathedral and the Main Tower observation deck, then the Museumsufer along the river and the Palmengarten. A tip from our desk: FRA has Terminals 1 and 2 (and a new Terminal 3) some distance apart - let us know your airline and flight number so the driver waits at the right arrivals hall.
If you want the days in Frankfurt organised - a driver, a guide, timed entry tickets - we do that too. Mention it on WhatsApp.
Best time to fly from Colombo to Frankfurt
The trade fairs (Messe) fill hotels through the year - the Book Fair in October and the IAA among them - and the A5 and A3 around the airport are slowest at weekday rush hours; winters are cold and summers warm. On the flight from Colombo to Frankfurt, seasons show in fares more than in schedules: holiday departures fill first, so we recommend booking early for summer, Christmas, New Year, Eid and Easter journeys.
Return flight from Frankfurt to Colombo
We book the return leg from Frankfurt to Colombo just as easily, normally on the same ticket. Booking both directions together lets us compare a return fare against two singles - on some airlines the return is much cheaper, on others two one-ways with different carriers win. Tell us the day you want to come back on the form and we send both directions with the cost.
How much is a flight from Colombo to Frankfurt?
Flight prices from Colombo to Frankfurt follow demand: book early on a quiet day and you pay a fraction of a last-minute fare in high season. The airline you choose, whether the fare includes baggage, the seat class and the time of the flight all change the total. Rather than quote a number that will be wrong tomorrow, Haqqi Tours checks the fare for the day you want to fly and sends it to you in the WhatsApp chat before you decide.
What the price we send includes: the ticket in the fare class you chose, the taxes and airport charges, the baggage that fare carries, and our service - comparing the airlines, booking, sending the e-ticket and helping if the flight changes. We tell you clearly if a bag or a seat costs extra on that fare.
Cheapest flight from Colombo to Frankfurt: how to pay less
A cheap Colombo to Frankfurt flight ticket is rarely luck. It is the right airline, the right day and the right fare class - which is what we verify for you:
- Pack to the fare: a hand-luggage-only ticket is cheaper if you do not need a checked bag
- Compare airlines - on this route the cheapest carrier changes from day to day
- Book both directions together when a return fare is cheaper than two singles, which we verify
- Ask about infant and child fares and about group bookings for four or more
- Book early - low fare tiers open months ahead and sell first, especially for holidays
- Fly mid-week - Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday departures are usually cheaper than Friday, Sunday and Monday
When you complete the form, mention if you can move your dates. We scan the fares around them and send the cheapest Colombo to Frankfurt flight first, then the alternatives.
