Wow, those were there when I was in the Army back in 81! They make a satisfying mechanical click when the numbers change, and you know how the Germans love mechanical things! Also in this digital age the cool old analog stuff still impresses....like the urge to buy music on vinyl Thanks for doing these, I miss Frankfurt...I used to live out at McNair kaserne in Hochst.
i really hope, those "Fallblattanzeigen" as we call them, will stay for a long time to come. They are so Vintage and Classic by now, that its worth to protect them as an cultural asset. greetings from germany
Meanwhile Singapore's Changi Airport had similar departure boards made by Solari in Terminals 1 & 2 but they were removed during renovation in 2012 & 2020 respectively, supposedly as they were too difficult/expensive to maintain due to obsolesce, despite the latter one being newer (completed in 1990)
@@frankfurtonfoottours2361 ooh okay I will be travelling with 3 huge suitcases, I don't think taking an escalator with 3 heavy bags will be wise for me. I'll most likely take an elevator
@@xoxosweetjesus5760 Where are you traveling to? I would not attempt to ride the trains with 3 large bags. They are not even with the platform. Take a taxi instead.
Thanks for this video it will be helpful for us in about 3 weeks. One question we are taking a train from Dortmund to Frankfurt to then fly to Milan. I assume we would want the train that takes us to Frankfurt Flughafen Fernbf and then we can just follow your video to Lufthansa check-in (we will have bags unfortunately). We are booking the train and plane separately as its a lot cheaper. And would arrival 2 hours before takeoff be enough time - this is on a Monday evening flight leaves at 8:30pm. Thanks.
Lufthansa has check-in right next to the long distance train station. You need to check your train ticket to see if it says Frankfurt Hauptbahnhof or Frankfurt Flughafen. Why don't you just fly from Dortmund to Milan?
@@frankfurtonfoottours2361there are no flights out of Dortmund itself. Have to go from Düsseldorf which is a 40 min train ride or train to somewhere like Frankfurt and then fly from there. We haven’t bought the tickets yet which is why I was asking about which endpoint in Frankfurt to pick. Appreciate the reply. Thanks
Hi, follow the video with the SkyTrain going from Terminal 2 to Terminal 1. Signs for the long-distance station are hanging from the ceiling all over terminal 1.
Really informative video , i'm landing there in February but dont know wheather it will be terminal 1 or 2 . I'm taking train to Nuremberg plz any advice, thanks for sharing
6:12 Whoa meanwhile in my country taxis aren't legally required to have child seats as its deemed too troublesome for the drivers, but private-hire drivers may be required to have them
@@frankfurtonfoottours2361 I recall that my country did some cost benefit analysis & determined that each taxi driver isn't going to have a very high % of passengers that need child seats, so allocating space for them on taxis isn't economically justifiable. I think some private-hire drivers might thus feel that our laws are biased in favour of conventional taxis & against them
You need to book a train ride at Deutsche Bahn to Bruxelles midi and a train ride at eurostar from Bruxulles midi to London if you want to travel from germany to london with the train.
Zu erwähnen wäre, dass die Lufthansacheckins im Bahnhofsbereich vor Corona auch Gepäck von vielen Airlines angenommen hat, aber ansonsten vermisse ich das Fliegen auch, wird aber wohl noch eine Weile dauern.
Thank you so much for your video. My mother is afraid she'll get lost in the airport and I'll use this video as an instruction for her 😊
Hope it helps. There are several videos of the airport so she should have a good orientation.
Useful video. I will be doing the walk the other way round soon! From terminal 1 to the long distance train station
Thanks. The walk should take about 10 minutes.
thanks a lot for this video.
Glad you liked and hope it helps you navigate your way.

Are there elevators as well to go to the train station?
There are elevators, but they are a bit out of the way and are not very useful in my opinion. They need to be larger and more of them.

Hi can you do a video on how to get to the long distance train station from arrivals terminal 2.

Which airline? They use dedicated terminals. If you google your flight & #, it will tell you which terminal.
@@frankfurtonfoottours2361 thanks for the reply, its iceland airline

That is a shame about the child seats. How unsafe for all those children

Da bekommt man wieder Lust zu fliegen.
Aber wie!
How long does it take to the terminal1
From the long distance station? About 10 min.
Yes, the long distance train. Thanks
hi if i want to go to Cologne from frankfurt airport what train will i take and what flatform ? thanks
You should look up this information on the Deutsche Bahn website. All the information is there.
Can i check in my baggage at the point you said in the video (around minute 9) for any airline/flight?
Hi dear
Is it possible if I book to London through the train from Frankfurt airport
You need to check with the Deutsche Bahn site.
You need to book a train ride at Deutsche Bahn to Bruxelles midi and a train ride at eurostar from Bruxulles midi to London if you want to travel from germany to london with the train.
@@darksoundzz Thanks a lot 🥰

Looks Like New Delhi Metro Train Stations
Is this a good thing or a bad thing?
@@frankfurtonfoottours2361 Obvious Good Thing Bro. Delhi Metro is Modern Metro System.
Nach diesem Video will ich kein Taxi mehr🤗
Mann kann viel Geld sparen.
