Lufthansa Offers Airport Transfer Guide to Students Connecting at Frankfurt


New Delhi, Delhi, India, Thursday, June 17, 2010 -- (Business Wire India) -- Lufthansa, the no. 1 European airline in India, is staying a step ahead by providing students with helpful information on transferring at Europe's main hub, Frankfurt Airport. As some students could be first time international travelers, they could get a little overawed by the whole experience. Using its recently launched student online platform at www.lufthansa.com/students Lufthansa helps ease the transfer process by giving students a heads up on what to expect and all the various facilities available to them in transit at Frankfurt Airport.

As the student gets off the plane and walks into the terminal at the Frankfurt Airport it would be hard to miss that it is easily one of the finest and best equipped airports in the world.

Transferring to the connecting flight, the first thing to consider is the boarding card for the next flight. In case the boarding card was not handed over at the check-in counter in India the Lufthansa Transfer desk would be the place to go to and get one.

For passengers travelling to North America and transferring at Frankfurt, the check-in baggage is usually checked through to the port of entry in North America. In this case, there is no need to go to baggage claim or check-in the bags again at Frankfurt. However, if the bags have not been checked through, that should be taken care of at this point. Once that is done, check the flight boards. If a transfer between terminals is required to get to the next flight, a free Skyline train service is available. Getting to the boarding gate well in time is advisable.

Download the transfer guide and map of Frankfurt airport at http://www.frankfurt-airport.com/cms/default/dokbin/395/395701.umsteigerguide.pdf and select the suitable path among those outlined. If there are any questions or queries the Lufthansa Information counter has multi-lingual staff at hand to help at any time.

Knowing how much time one has before departure is helpful in chalking out what all can be done in that time. The airport is extremely well equipped including abundant shops, restaurants, pharmacies and more in the terminal area itself.

The Frankfurt Airport is a complete shopping experience too, with 220 Shops, Bars & Restaurants. Discover exclusive offers on world known brands at Frankfurt Airport and even great savings at 23 Duty Free Shops.

Round the clock first aid, medical services and pharmacies are available, just in case one requires attention or medication.

For students with little or no experience of international travel and connecting at airports it is a good idea to surf through the services available at Frankfurt airport at its dedicated website (http://www.frankfurt-airport.com) and read in detail about transferring there at http://www.frankfurt-airport.com/cms/default/rubrik/25/25251.transferring.html

Equipped with the requisite information, travel can be comfortable and less daunting than it seems.
