More US destinations on the Frankfurt winter flight schedule

The planned opening of the border for vaccinated Europeans in the USA makes it possible: In the new winter flight schedule of Frankfurt Airport there are again 17 regularly reachable destinations in the United States of America.

In addition to the network airlines Lufthansa, United and Delta, the vacation airlines Condor and Eurowings Discover have also included interesting US destinations for tourists in their program, as the airport operator Fraport reported on Wednesday.

Frankfurt / Main - In the winter flight schedule that will apply from Sunday (October 31), a total of 2970 passenger aircraft departures per week are planned.

That is around 180 percent more than last winter, but also 30 percent less than in the 2019/2020 season, which was only affected by the corona pandemic at the very end.
