Frankfurt/Main International Airport / Bus shuttle service
Frankfurt/Main International Airport serves most international destinations in the world. With an extra fee charge, shuttle buses from Frankfurt/Main International Airport (and Frankfurt’s main train station) to Giessen can be booked in advance and will be provided by JLU Giessen on arrival. Shuttle buses will also take participants from the conference venue or from the hotels to the Railway Station and/or the Airport when leaving Giessen.
Justus Liebig University will set up a welcome desk at Frankfurt Main International Airport at Terminal 1. The welcome desk will also be the meeting point for participants who booked the Shuttle Service. Shuttle buses will run between the Airport and the hotels at regular intervals.
The welcome desk will provide information on shuttle buses, tickets for local transportation, and general information on arrival.
