I kinda need this. I'm traveling to Frankfurt this month for a few days by myself for the first time, and I'm tryna wing it out before I head to Ulm for business work ( and I'm trying to figure out that as well on how to get there)
Thanks for watching. Makes sense. We flew direct to Frankfurt from North America, so it was nice to not have transfers. I wanted to buy a train ticket from FRA to Cologne in advance to save a few euros, but I chose not to just in case we had delays at the airport.
@@scottoftheroad Cologne Airport is quite small. I had to give myself a few hours either way to take into account delays but despite the DB train strike I got there on time!
@@barryrowlings83 The lady at my hotel did say that German train’s don’t always run on time, but I had great luck every time I used them. They were right on schedule. Nice to hear from NW England. I was planning on getting back around there in the fall (Chester), but looks like my work schedule has changed that. Hoping for next year!

Definitely buy your tickets online though! 160€ for that distance is a rip-off, and you can get it from just 9€ if you buy in advance.
Need better details on finding the correct platform and train
I did this the opposite way around going from Cologne to Frankfurt. Cheaper than flying direct to from the NW of England
