Route facts

The route from Skandinavienkai to Frankfurt Airport

From the Skandinavienkai ferry terminal on the Trave to Frankfurt Airport is roughly 563 km, scheduled at about five hours and forty-five minutes of driving. The first kilometres run out through the port approach roads and along the B75 past Lübeck onto the A1.

The route then swings around Hamburg and through the Elbe tunnel onto the A7, heading south past Hannover and Kassel. At the Kirchheim interchange it changes to the A5, which runs down to the airport exit.

Pickup at the ferry terminal

Your driver waits on the landside of the Skandinavienkai terminal as you come off the ship, so bags are lifted once and not three times. Guests starting from a hotel in Travemünde or over on the Priwall side are collected there instead, simply by giving the address.

Ferries from Trelleborg, Malmö, Helsinki or the Baltic coast rarely dock exactly on schedule. Give us the operator and sailing when you book and the pickup follows the actual arrival rather than the printed timetable.

Arriving at your departure terminal

The car finishes on the departures level of Terminal 1 or Terminal 3, matched to your airline. After an overnight crossing and a long motorway leg it is a relief to carry the luggage only a few metres to the desk.

If your timings are tight, remember that Frankfurt can hold you at security at peak hours. The arrival time at the terminal is therefore planned with a buffer built in.

About Skandinavienkai and Travemünde

Skandinavienkai is Germany's most important Baltic ferry port. From the ramps on the eastern bank of the Trave, ships sail to Sweden, Finland and the Baltic states, with freight trailers and holiday cars sharing the same lanes. The terminal belongs to the port of Lübeck, and the Mecklenburg border with Selmsdorf and Dassow lies immediately behind it.

Travemünde itself is Lübeck's seaside district at the river mouth, with a broad Baltic beach, a promenade where the ferries pass close inshore, and the four-masted barque Passat moored on the Priwall side. Its old lighthouse is considered the oldest on the German Baltic coast, and each summer the Travemünder Woche regatta fills the bay with sails.

Tips for this journey

Try not to plan the drive tight behind a ferry arrival: clearing the vehicle decks, and passport checks on Baltic sailings, take time. A late afternoon or evening departure from Frankfurt suits this route far better than the first wave of morning flights.

If you are stepping ashore with bicycles, fishing gear or kit bags, state the volume when booking so an estate car or van is sent rather than a saloon.

Also bookable as its own route: Frankfurt Airport to Timmendorfer Strand (561 km, at a fixed price with real drive-time facts). Every route, fixed price and vehicle class at FR Transfer.

Comparison

Transfer, taxi or train from Skandinavienkai Travemünde?

A taxi from Travemünde to Frankfurt exists in theory, but few cars at the ferry terminal will take a run of this length, and the meter would tick for the full 563 km. Rail means getting to Lübeck first, changing in Hamburg and changing again at the long-distance station under the Frankfurt terminal, all with ferry luggage in tow. A rental car requires a branch in Travemünde and a one-way drop at the airport, which is usually expensive and rigid on timing. The fixed-price transfer simply runs from the ferry ramp to the departures hall, at an amount settled before you even sailed.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

How early should I leave Skandinavienkai Travemünde for Frankfurt Airport?

Leave Skandinavienkai Travemünde about 8 h 54 min before departure for a Schengen flight, or about 9 h 54 min for long-haul. That is 344 minutes of driving, 70 minutes of traffic buffer and 2 or 3 hours at the terminal. The booking form proposes the pickup time for you.

How much is a transfer from Skandinavienkai Travemünde to Frankfurt Airport?

The fixed price for the 563 km route is shown in the booking form before you book and never changes afterwards — regardless of traffic, time of day, weekday or how long the drive actually takes. It depends on the vehicle class and the distance, not on a meter.

How much luggage fits in each vehicle?

The sedan classes take 2 large suitcases plus 2 cabin bags; the Business Van takes 7 suitcases plus 5 cabin bags for up to 8 passengers. Declare oversized items such as skis, a golf bag or a pushchair when booking so the right class is dispatched.

Is this a taxi or a chauffeur service?

This is a chauffeur service: the journey is booked in advance, the price is fixed before you book and no meter runs. Your driver wears a suit, greets you by name and helps with the luggage — in the Business and First Class categories it is a limousine service with a Mercedes E- or S-Class. You hail a taxi at a rank; a chauffeur is booked to the minute in Skandinavienkai Travemünde. That makes the transfer the fixed-price alternative to a Frankfurt Airport taxi for Skandinavienkai Travemünde.

Can I pay the driver by card?

Card payment is accepted directly in the vehicle — as is cash or paying online in advance, and business customers can be invoiced. You receive a receipt with VAT shown either way.

Can I travel with an infant or child seat?

A child seat, booster or infant carrier is selected during booking and fitted by the driver before pickup. State the child's age so the correct size group is installed.

How does free cancellation work?

Cancellation is free up to 24 hours before the agreed pickup time. After that a cancellation fee may apply; at the pickup address in Skandinavienkai Travemünde 15 minutes of waiting are included, and each further quarter hour is charged at the rate stated in the terms.
