Frankfurt airport customs time

on average it took usually 20-30 minutes from the time I was off the plane and got my luggage first which can take just as long too. Customs usually don`t take as long as for example in the U.S. or Canada Once you have it if you have nothing to declare you go right to the line and if your not a EU Citizen you have a seperate line to go in and so long as there are not too many non EU the line will go fast in most cases. I think twice it took longer for the person was trying to get in one time with no passport!! You have over 1 hour time and this will be enough. When you get out the airplane, you need to go for the passport control, than get the luggage, and the train station is under the airport,

Once I was stamped I was in the hallways and made my way to back then the S Bahn to the H-Bahn but now you can take the R-Bahn from the airport now and go to which ever area you want, you don't have to shuttle over to the main Hauptbahnhof anymore from Frankfurt.

So say an hour total with luggage wait before you exit to a train or what ever. This is different of course if you have a connecting flight then you dont have to worry about luggage hopefully if it is transfered properly and hence customs is much faster then
