Traffic and patience: travel in Hesse before the Christmas holidays!

Frankfurt/Main, Deutschland - The upcoming Christmas days in Hesse bring a huge volume of traffic with them again. Frankfurt Airport expects around one million travelers for the weekend before the holidays and the following days. This corresponds to the level of the previous year, as a spokesman for the German Press Agency explained. In order to avoid long waiting times, passengers are advised to be at the airport two hours before departure with hand luggage and 2.5 hours with abandoned luggage to check in time, such as hessenschau.de reported.

The streets in Hessen are also preparing for a rush of travelers. The ADAC recommends drivers either on Friday, December 20, either to drive or wait for something, since this day will probably be the main day of travel. School and commuting, paired with the Christmas business, leads to a high stammering, especially on heavily frequented motorway sections such as the Kirchheimer Dreieck and the A3 near Raunheim. For the last Christmas shopping, too, it is advised to use public transport to avoid finding the parking space. According to the current forecasts, there will also be a strong travel current at the beginning of the new year, since many people break into the ski areas, such as fru.de

Deutsche Bahn also expects the number of passengers and expects up to 450,000 passengers in their trains around Christmas every day. The largest ICE fleet that the train has ever used is used for this. According to the booking figures, the travel wave begins on Thursday, December 19. Even between Christmas and New Year, even high demand is predicted, whereby the traffic seamlessly transferred to New Year's traffic after the holidays. The railways and traffic planning experts recommend travelers to plan their trips forward -looking and to be prepared for inconvenience such as traffic jams.
