Frankfurt (Main) Flughafen Fernbahnhof (translates from German as Frankfurt Airport long-distance station, also abbreviated as Frankfurt Flughafen Fernbf) is a railway station in Frankfurt, Germany that connects Frankfurt International Airport to trains, most of them ICE services following the Cologne-Frankfurt high-speed rail line.
The station was opened in 1999. It measures 660 metres in length and 45 metres in height. It features a large dome containing a lounge area and a ticket hall, and is connected to the airport by a skyway that crosses the A 3. A four-star hotel with convention center (AirRail-Center Frankfurt) will be built above the station.
This long distance station should not be confused with Frankfurt (Main) Flughafen Regionalbahnhof (translates from German as Frankfurt Airport Regional station, which is located beneath Terminal 1 of the airport and which provides local S-Bahn services to Frankfurt Central Station and Wiesbaden/Mainz.
As a special courtesy, Lufthansa allows its passengers to check in at Köln Hauptbahnhof and Stuttgart Hauptbahnhof. The passengers' luggage will then be transported on board the ICE trains and forwarded to the respective flight. This scheme is known as AiRail Service. Trains operating under that scheme have a separate LH number associated with them.
Another service are Lufthansa check-in counters within the bridge connecting the railstation with the Terminal.
