Hi, Anyone flown the evening Ryanair from Milan-Bergamo airport to Frankfurt=Hahn? Just looking for another way to enjoy my Europe experience! Thanks

You do realize, I hope, that Frankfurt-"Hahn" is nowhere near Frankfurt.

Same point as Lee's, Hahn is not Frankfurt, it's about 75 miles from Frankfurt.

Kathy, Budget air is perhaps a good option on that route if travel time is a concern, as travelling by train will be a minimum of 8H:51M. Another option you might consider would be a flight from Milan / MXP to Frankfurt / FRA using Air Berlin. However, you'll have to watch the Fares carefully for a few months prior to departure in order to get a reasonably good deal. As always, be sure to read the "Terms & Conditions" carefully when dealing with the Euro airlines. In reality, I suspect the travel times between rail and air may be quite close. I believe the MXP-FRA flights are about 5.5 hours. You'll have to add to that the time and cost to get to the airport, and of course all the usual check-in, security, waiting times, and the time to get from the airport to the city at the destination. Under the circumstances, I'd probably find the train a more "enjoyable experience".

But if RyanAir abandons Hahn, what airport will they misrepresent as "Frankfurt"?

Hi travelers, thank you for all these great insights. Yes, i am aware of the distance bet. Frankfurt-Hahn and Frankfurt; we are staying the night in Mainz to catch the train then flight to Charlotte. Hadnt heard about abandonment of Hahn A/P. That could be a problem! I suppose the worst that can happen is i find a midnight train goin' anywhere (sorry, Journey just popped into my head!) Will research more. Thank you all for your thoughtful replies.
