Frankfurt Airport (FRA) is Lufthansa's main hub and the gateway to Central Europe — Germany, Austria, Switzerland, and beyond. Aeroplan is the secret weapon for booking Lufthansa business class through Frankfurt at competitive rates. Fluxora tracks 16,016 live award deals to Frankfurt.
Frankfurt is not just a transit hub — it is where Lufthansa's flagship premium product, Allegris, is rolling out. Allegris business class features enclosed suites with sliding privacy doors, a new bar and lounge area, and direct aisle access for every seat. The Boeing 787-9 aircraft operating Allegris routes out of Frankfurt represents the most significant upgrade to European business class in a decade. If you are booking a premium cabin award to Central Europe, a Frankfurt routing on Allegris adds substantial value over a connection through another European hub.
For US travelers, Frankfurt also functions as one of Europe's best connection hubs. The airport is large but well-organized, with a dedicated transit area connecting Terminal 1 and Terminal 2. Connection times of 60–75 minutes are realistic for international-to-international connections. If your final destination is anywhere in Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Eastern Europe, or the Middle East, Frankfurt is often the most convenient routing on Lufthansa Group metal.
The Aeroplan advantage for Frankfurt is particularly strong for SWISS connections. SWISS (Swiss International Air Lines) is a Lufthansa Group carrier and a Star Alliance member. Aeroplan books SWISS business class at rates comparable to Lufthansa, often with better availability on popular routes like Zurich–New York and Zurich–Los Angeles. If your trip involves a Frankfurt arrival with an onward SWISS connection to Zurich, Geneva, or Basel, Aeroplan lets you book the entire itinerary on a single award with consistent pricing.
