It was far from comfortable. There were flies everywhere – both inside and outside the fastfood places. They were even all over my face all the time and this was the main reason to find sleeping here difficult. – tony_vm

Despite its name, the airport is located more than 100 kilometres from the City of Frankfurt, at an equal distance between the cities of Frankfurt and Luxembourg. The airport serves primarily low-cost carriers flying to European destinations, so don’t expect much from an overnight here. There are limited shops and dining options, with most being landside. There is also 24-hour McDonald’s open on the landside that reportedly has better WiFi than the airport. The airport provides free WiFi, but charging areas/outlets are reported to be scarce.

Airside closes overnight, so travellers will be relocated Landside until security opens in the morning.
