Hi I am moving to Kaiserslautern area next year, and I have to get from the airport in Frankfurt to Kaiserslautern on my own. What is the easiest way? Also fairly cheap, I don't want an hour taxi ride.

You are going to love how easy the train system is in Germany. Deutsche Bahn There is a train station at the Franfurt Airport and you can get to the main station (Hauptbahnhof) in Kaiserslautern (Kaiserslautern Hbf) with a connection at Mannheim Hbf. It will take between 1.5 - 2 hours, depending what train you take (ICE is a fast train, RE, RB are slow trains) and what time of day. The best thing to do is use the http://www.bahn.de/ web site and klick on English and follow instructions.
You can easily buy your tickets when you get there or buy them on line.(I always found it to be the same price).
If you are going to be in Germany for a while, look into special rate cards that will make your travel cheaper.
And while in Kaiserslautern, remeber to cheer for the Rote Taufel (the local football club)! Shoene Reise!

Frankfurt is a powerful and international economic and business good town with the most imposing skyline in Germany and is one of many areas that you might want to see, a minumum of one time and that place hotelbye will help you. Frankfurt is a city in the center of Germany and Europe and is a town that may present several facets and contrasting variety. In one's heart of Frankfurt's Old Town you will see a spot well suitable, the Römerberg.The Römerberg is definitely an irregularly designed square with the Justice Fountain at its center. Not just could it be Frankfurt's most picturesque public square, it's the city's busiest pedestrian zone, house to varied tourist attractions from their many Kulturschirn (a type of open-fronted shop once frequent through the entire previous town) to the Römer, a complex of 11 wonderful previous buildings from the 15th to 18th centuries including the Old Town Hall with its Imperial Hall, once the world of wonderful banquets. Different significant structures range from the New Town Hall, the 14th-century Gothic Church of St. Leonhard, and St. Nicholas Church, notable for its carillon.

Are you coming for the US Military? Civilian work, or a job with DoDDs(US Military school system)? Maybe you can catch a ride from somebody else at the Frankfurt airport? You can maybe check with where you will be working, they may be able to set up a ride for you? If not, then your best bet money wise is the train. P.S. Depending on where you are in K-Town as the Americans living there call Kaiserslautern, you may think you are still living in America......

You can Book a Trainticket directly at the Airport, The train Stops Directly under the Airport. Your Travelagent or the Airport Personel should be able to Help You with that. Do not take a Taxi.It takes 2 to 2 and a Half Hours to Kaiserslautern, if Traffic is Bad. And German Taxis are Expensive. We are talking a Couple Hundred Dollars.
