Flights from Frankfurt am Main to Tampa: the best tips from KAYAK users' own experiences

Insights shared by verified travellers who flew the route from Frankfurt am Main to Tampa 
CaraFlew with Lufthansa-Jun 2026
Always give yourself 2 hours when going through Frankfurt and have your passport ready at all times. You will have to show it multiple times.
Verified travelerFlew with Lufthansa-Jun 2024
I built in extra time in case there were train delays. When I arrived in Frankfurt, the trains to Cologne were all delayed but about two hours. I didn't want to risk missing my flight so I added in extra time to get to the airport. That worked great and I ended up with extra time to have a coffee instead of being stressed about delays.
Verified travelerFlew with Lufthansa-Jul 2024
Emirates, Dubai. Qatar, Doha are better airports for transit. Frankfurt could be painful while transitioning between terminals.
