I’m in Frankfurt on back to back business trips at the end of the month. My original plan was to come back to Barcelona for the weekend but all the decent flights are booked. I don’t really want to be stranded in Frankfurt for the weekend (office is actually in Worms, 40 mins south of Frankfurt).

Can anyone suggest some good flyway weekend destinations that are cheap and easy to get to from Frankfurt?

Failing that I could always get a hire car and go to The Ring.

You can get a bus from the hauptbahnhoff to Frankfurt Hahn airport (ryanair hub) and fly more or less anywhere.
Alternatively, I can line you up with a load of expat drinking buddies of mine out there who'll take really bad care of you.

Hire a decent car and drive up to Trier on the Mosel. Visit some wine estates (try Prum in Wehlen). The roads are fabulous.

Might take you up on that if I'm around but the idea is to get away from Frankfurt for the weekend.

I'm thinking of just getting a eturn to Gatwick and going out on the lash for the weekend in Brighton.

You're only about 5 hours from Prague by car..

Or you could shoot over the Czech border and head for the huge Tesco just outside Karlovy Vary, stock up on cheap booze, head back home and get absoloutely hammered for next to nothing
