Things to do in Frankfurt when you land

the Museumsufer along the river, the Palmengarten, Goethe House, the Städel Museum and the Eiserner Steg bridge are what most passengers come to Frankfurt for. 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. Eat Rippchen with sauerkraut, Bethmännchen marzipan sweets and Frankfurter green sauce (Grüne Soße) while you are there.

Haqqi Tours arranges guided tours, tickets, airport transfers and private drivers in Frankfurt; ask when you book the flight and we send the options.

Best time to fly from San Francisco to Frankfurt

Flights from San Francisco to Frankfurt run all year, daily. 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. If you can travel outside those weeks the same seat costs less and the airports are quieter. Whatever the month, early booking is the single biggest saving.

Return flight from Frankfurt to San Francisco

We book the return leg from Frankfurt to San Francisco 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 San Francisco to Frankfurt?

Flight prices from San Francisco 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 San Francisco to Frankfurt: how to pay less

A cheap San Francisco to Frankfurt flight ticket is rarely luck. It is the right airline, the right day and the right fare class - which is what we check for you:

• Fly mid-week - Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday departures are usually cheaper than Friday, Sunday and Monday
• Consider early-morning and late-evening departures, which often carry the lowest fares
• Let us know if your dates are flexible - moving by a day can change the fare a lot
• 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

When you fill out the form, mention if you can move your dates. We scan the fares around them and send the cheapest San Francisco to Frankfurt flight first, then the alternatives.

Departure: San Francisco International Airport (SFO)

Flights from San Francisco to Frankfurt leave from San Francisco International Airport (SFO), serving San Francisco - san Francisco is the city of the Golden Gate, the cable cars, Alcatraz and the wine country an hour north.

• Online check-in opens 24-48 hours before; we send the link and the booking reference
• Keep the passport or ID used for booking with the e-ticket - names must match exactly
• Check the baggage included in your fare - we tell you before you book
