Answer 2

Hi,

First of all, there are two cities by the name Frankfurt in Germany. Frankfurt am Main is the big city, the one you probably want to visit. This city lies in the midwest. About two hours from Cologne and Bonn, and about one hour from Stuttgart.

Then there's Frankfurt an der Oder, a smaller city, on the border with Poland (or near it).

Frankfurt am Main has two airports: Frankfurt/Main Airport (with airport code FRA) is the bigger airport, near the city's centre. Frankfurt Hahn (airport code HNN) is a smaller airport that lies rather far away from the city (somewhere between Frankfurt and Luxembourg, about 1 hour from Frankfurt with a bus).

So if it is Frankfurt am Main you want to visit, you did book correctly. As far as I know, Frankfurt an der Oder does not have any mayor airport.
