Just for anyone who thinks Frankfurt (Hahn) might be a good deal it has to be at least 100kms from the city of Frankfurt. How on earth can RYR use the city name of Frankfurt when flying to Hahn ? Don't the trades description people have an opinion on this ?

Imagine if you were German and boarded a plane to London only to arrive in the baggage reclaim hall to see a sign saying "Welcome to Ipswich" When complaining you could be told the train station is down the road or there's a bus stop outside the arrivals hall.

I once collected someone from Hahn airport and it really is in the ar*e end of nowhere. Interestingly I don't recall seeing any BA or LH aircraft parked on the apron, I imagine when they say they are flying to Frankfurt they deposit you at the major international airport situated just a few kms from the city of Frankfurt.
