How do I decide? Some tips and tricks from our experience

Are you having trouble deciding on how to get to Dresden from Frankfurt am Main Airport? With 6 connections between 3 Train, Bus, Carpool and Flight operators, it can be difficult to find the one ride that will make you happy. But we have some tips that can help you make the best informed decision. First of all, the best trip is always the one that meets all your needs, so make a list of all the things that you want from this journey and look for something that will satisfy all of them. Here we will go through some of the factors mostly commonly taken into consideration.

Look for the lowest price

Ticket price is usually the main concern: even if you can afford to pay more, why do it if there are cheaper options? Saving on the trip means that you can spend more on the vacation itself! Between Frankfurt am Main Airport and Dresden, you can pay as low as £25 with a Carpool from BlaBlaCar.

Travel duration

Time is also an important factor. An earlier departure may allow you to see a beautiful sunset or relax before an important event. And remember, time is money, so paying more for a shorter trip may be well worth it. For longer distances, flights are without doubt the best options, but be mindful of airport times and possible delays: a high-speed train may end up cheaper and faster! Here the quicker option is definitely the Flight from Lufthansa: you will get to Dresden in just 1h 5m.

Comfort makes all the difference
