Flights Zurich to Frankfurt on the cheap

Sorry, another question (I am available to answer anyones queries about Bangkok though). We are due to arrive in Zug around August 10th, on 18th we need to go to Germany, ideally Wiesbaden but more realistically Frankfurt for a wedding. Can anyone recommend a cheap airline to fly with?
I have tried to check the forum to see if the answer has been given before, but to no avail.
Forgive and be kind to a divvy.

Re: Flights Zurich to Frankfurt on the cheap

Don't know about flights, but I can thoroughly recommend the train service between Zurich and Frankfurt as it's excellent and door-to-door, it's not much slower than flying.

And hey, think of that carbon footprint ;-)

(disclaimer: I have no clue about the carbon footprint caused by taking the train, I'm merely assuming it's less damaging than flying. Flying was of course invented by Satan himself)

Re: Flights Zurich to Frankfurt on the cheap

indeed I can say that some people I know say it's better by train - and they're in Frankfurt quite often.

I used to have to go to Darmstadt occasionally for work, very close to Frankfurt, taking the train was cheapest and easiest. Takes around 4 hours

Re: Flights Zurich to Frankfurt on the cheap

I second Fraser and the others - take the train and avoid Satan. Less hassle than flying and reasonably priced if you have a Halbtax or GA in Switzerland. I used to travel Zurich-Frankfurt occasionally for work and it was really convenient. I flew once and vowed never again after getting stuck in traffic on the way in and showing up late for an important meeting.
