Flight
Frankfurt is by far the EASIEST international airport to connect to with non-stops flights from LAX on Lufthansa and United. For those flying in from NC, direct flights are available from Charlotte via American Airlines or Raleigh via Lufthansa. Keep in mind, it is a 3hr and 15 min drive to the venue (times vary depending on time of day and traffic conditions). You can rent a vehicle from here and take the scenic route to our wedding :). If you would like to take a train, your destination is going to be Bielefeld and from there you can take a taxi to your hotel. Bielefeld is about 20 min away from the wedding venue.
Flight
You could also fly into Hanover Airport, the closest major airport to our ceremony. However, there will be a layover or two, but your drive time to the wedding venue will be shorter. Hanover offers a smooth and manageable arrival experience, making it a great alternative to larger, busier hubs. From the airport, Oerlinghausen is about a 1.5-to-2-hour drive through the beautiful German countryside. Rental cars are readily available, or you can opt for a train route via Hanover's central station for a scenic and stress-free journey. Overall Hanover provides a convenient and charming getaway to our wedding destination.
