Frankfurt's busy international airport is conveniently located 10 minutes from the city centre. I though came to Frankfurt via Frankfurt-Hahn airport. At 1 hour and 45 minutes bus ride from Frankfurt, tacking Frankfurt to the front of Hahn airport is stretching the friendship just a bit. It is a Ryanair hub, which is how I got there.

If time is of the essence, then flying here may not be for you, as the bus to Frankurt is only every hour, making it up to 3 hours from when you land to getting into the city.

The bus is also €12 each way, another factor to consider when weighing up the real cost of your ticket. Still, I had time at my leisure, so the £1.98 return fare plus £22.98 in various taxes and charges was well worthwhile.

Ryanair have become the biggest airline in Europe. Their success has been to offer consistently low fares all over Europe on a no frills basis. To offer such ridiculously low fares, such as the one I flew on, no frills really means no frills. Last year, an a measure to cut costs even further, new seats were installed that do not recline or have the back pocket.

This was to reduce rubbish being left in the plane, and thus turn around times shortened. The safety information card is now stuck on the back of each seat on plastic yellow head rests, so any last vestage of fantasizing about being a jetset playboy is completely obliterated by the glary primary yellow cabin.
