Facilities
Frankfurt Airport is one of the best-equipped airports in the
world; it even offers a casino. There are numerous restaurants,
shops, bars and cafes in both terminals, and banks, bureaux de
change and ATMs are in both Arrivals and Departures. A business
centre offers Internet, fax and secretarial facilities. Other
facilities include a hairdresser, chapel and children's play areas.
Disabled facilities are good; travellers with special needs should
ideally contact their airline in advance.
Language
German is the official language. English is also widely
spoken and understood.
Money
The unit of currency is the Euro (EUR), divided into 100 cents.
ATMs and exchange bureaux are widely available. The major credit
cards are becoming more widely accepted in many large shops, hotels
and restaurants, although Germans themselves prefer to carry cash.
Travellers cheques are best cashed at exchange bureaux, as banks
often won't change them. The quickest and most convenient way to
change money is to obtain cash from one of the ATM machines that
are ubiquitous features on all German streets. Banks are closed on
weekends, but exchange bureaux at airports and main railway
stations are open daily from 6am to 10pm.
Terminal Transfers
The two terminals are connected by the Sky Line people
mover.
