Frankfurt Airport introduces premium ‘Home to Gate’ departure service

Frankfurt Airport is offering its departing travellers a new premium “˜Home to Gate’ service, available for all airlines and destinations.

The service, which includes limousine transfer and a service guide, aims to take the stress out of the departure procedure and make it easier and more convenient for travellers to fly from Frankfurt Airport.

“There’s no longer any need for you to look for a parking space, haul suitcases, or wait in line at the check-in counter,” the airport stated. “You’re picked up at your home and taken all the way to your departure gate. You can take advantage of the “˜Home to Gate’ service no matter which airline or class you’ve booked or which destination you’re heading for.”

The airport outlined the process: “The driver is at the agreed-on meeting point right on time. You and your travelling companions are picked up in a Mercedes S-Class, VW Phaeton, or BMW 7 Series car or Mercedes van and chauffeured to the airport. Once there, a service guide takes care of your luggage and handles check-in while you relax over a free drink in a nearby bistro.

“The guide then returns with your boarding passes and escorts you straight through a special separate security checkpoint, bypassing the lines. On the apron in front of the terminal, another car waits to take you straight to your departure gate,” it added.

Travellers can book the “˜Home to Gate’ service for up to four persons leaving on the same flight. The per-person price of the service depends on the proximity to the airport: up to 20 km €229; up to 40 km €249 and up to 80 km €299.

The service can be booked online at www.frankfurt-airport.com up to 48 hours before departure, with payment by credit card after arrival at the airport. The price includes two checked bags and carry-on luggage.

According to Frankfurt Airport, the service is part of its ongoing “˜Great to have you here!’ programme aimed at enhancing the experience of passengers and visitors.
