Clickair: Frankfurt to Reus

The carrier: Clickair

Upside
Great domestic Spanish network, including intra-country routes. The cabin crew has some great uniforms.

Downside
No flights to Madrid; all fights in or out of Spain.

About
Clickair is the low-cost arm of Iberia, the Spanish flagship carrier. It maintains a Barcelona base and flies to a dizzying array of destinations in Spain (Bilbao, Granada, Ibiza, Jerez, La Coruna, Malaga, Minorca, Santiago, Valencia, and Vigo), as well as a wide set of destinations across an impressive route map.
Baggage
* Carry-on: One piece of hang luggage not to exceed 10 kg, plus personal items.
* Checked: Guidelines are unclear, however, it looks like you can take up to 20 kg for free and are charged €10 per additional kg. The absolute maximum weight is 32 kg per suitcase, 50 kg in total.

Fun Fact
Turns out, you can't take animals on ClickAir, but (thankfully) their website specifies that "cloaks" are allowed. Bring it on, Sherlock!

Departure: Frankfurt, Germany - Frankfurt Intl (FRA)

In Brief: Germany's busiest airport, Frankfurt International ranks third within Europe in terms of passenger traffic. Unlike some other of Europe's bigger airports, there is not a separate terminal for low-cost airlines. There are, in fact, not a huge number of budget airlines offering flights in and out of Frankfurt, but those that do are distributed across terminals. Air Berlin, Clickair, and Niki fly to Frankfurt International.

Transportation: The best way between the airport and the Frankfurt main train station is by S-Bahn. A one-way journey costs just €3.55 and takes about 10 minutes.

Arrival: Reus, Spain (REU)

The Reus Airport receives a large amount of passengers headed to the beach resorts of Salou and Cambrils. A few low-fare airlines use the airport in place of service to Barcelona, which is only 90km to the north and can reached by public and private transport.

Location: Reus Airport is located 3 km southeast of the city and 13 km from the Tarragona city center.

Transport:

- Bus: Public transport buses will take travelers from the airport to the Reus bus station which is located 15 minutes from the Reus town center. You can find these buses outside the Arrivals Hall and the journey will take around 25 minutes. This bus also serves as a connection with the Renfe train station. Tickets can be bought on the bus. For more details visit the Reus Transport Website.

There is also a bus that can take travelers straight into Barcelona (at the María Cristina square and Sants station). The buses to Barcelona can be found outside the Arrivals Hall and the journey lasts roughly 90 minutes. The timetables for this service will vary throughout the year as the bus schedule is planned to meet the flights that arrive each day. For an up-to-date listing of the schedule and fares consult the bus company’s Official Website. If travelers would like to reach the town of Cambrils as well as the towns on the way (La Pineda, Faro, Salou and Vilaseca), there is a line which covers this route. For details visit the bus company’s Website.

- Taxi: If you are traveling with a big group or have children it may be more convenient to book a private transfer to and from Reus Airport. Many of the taxis at the airport rarely have children’s safety seats and the limit of passengers is four.

Service: There are a few shops and restaurants located in the airport. Other services include information desks and a first aid facility. more...
