Flights from Frankfurt to New York

Germany's principal transatlantic route, and a genuine hub-to-hub connection: large proportions of the passengers on any given departure are connecting at one end or both. That makes fares from smaller German and central European cities to New York via Frankfurt competitive with the Frankfurt-only fare.
