[QUOTE=Mohab;1302428]1) the last day of my next trip in September falls on the 1st day of the automechanika fair. My flight does not leave till 10 pm on that evening, which means I do not have to be at the airport till 8pm. This gives me a chance to experience oase from 10am to 630pm. I have never opened a club so it should be fun. However I am slightly worried about the logistics of getting back to the airport on time. I will be using a cab for ease of purpose. Does anyone know if there is likely to be any heavy daily rush hour traffic on the autobahn or due to the auto mechanika fair at around 630pm to 8pm when I will cab it to frankfurt international. I have given myself an hour for the journey and around 40-50 euros for fare. Can someone let me know if an hour and 40-50 is enough to get from oase to frankfurt international at this time of day. If I miss my flight I have no one to help me either in germany or elsewhere so it is essential I get to the airport for 8pm at latest. If I don't you will find me in a cardboard box outside the train station devoid of funds. LOL. I had posted this question earlier but no one replied. Could not find info after reading the f- thread![/QUOTE]It takes just over an hour by public transport to the airport. Many times I have grabbed some of Oase's wonderful food at 18:00, got changed and taken the train to the airport arriving in plenty of time for a 21:35 flight.
The one time I actually took a taxi to the airport, since the driver offered me a good deal and it was a bloody cold day; it took less than 20 minutes to get there, in fact I was at the airport before the train I had intended to get had left Friedrichsdorf. If I had known I could have spent another hour in the club.
Of course the taxi availability rule applies here, ie plenty of time = taxi comes immediately, cutting it fine = taxi takes ages to appear.
Some other concerns I might possibly have.
Ten minutes before I leave there is a police razzia.
If you're not airborne by 23:00 at FRA you'll be spending another night in Germany, hopefully at the airline's expense; since there is currently a night flight ban in operation. Local residents were staging a noisy demonstration at the airport when I was last there, in an attempt to increase this restriction to 22:00.
