Conference league final tickets

I've booked a flight to Frankfurt from Heathrow that lands at 11.05am, does anyone know how long roughly it will it take me to get through customs, etc and get to the train station at the airport?

Can see there's a train at 11.45 but looks like there is a couple of changes including a 17 min walk to another station.

Assuming the better bet is to go for ones at 12.36 or 12.41 which also include changes but not changing stations or just wait for the 13.02 which is direct to Leipzig.

Any suggestions much appreciated.

No doubt sods law will come into play -
If you book the 11.45 train there will be delays and queues at the airport, so u will be constantly on edge right up to the point when u miss the train - if u book the 13.02 everything will go smoothly and u will be on the platform in plenty of time to wave the 11.45 on its way -

If it was me, I would just book the 13.02, wander through the entry process in whatever time it takes, relax and maybe enjoy a beer in the airport bar, taking comfort from knowing the 13.02 is a direct train service to Leipzig.

I land at 09:30 and have gone for the 11:00 train direct from Frankfurt Airport to Leipzig. There are a few direct trains.

Going by previous European trips since the changes, it has taken me around 30 mins to get through immigration but it all depends on the queues.

Hi mate

The train station is built into the airport .
looking at online vids it looks a 10 min walk as you want the long distance side
Frankfurt Airport (FRA) has two train stations located at Terminal 1: the Fernbahnhof (long-distance, Floor 3)
 
Thankfully I booked a 'reserve now pay later' Hotel right in Leipzig City Centre backs in August so accommodation is sorted.

I booked flights yesterday as they were going up and up and will only continue to rise.

Flying from Heathrow at 06.55 to Munich on the Tuesday then 3 hour train to Leipzig.

Coming home on Thursday. Got to get a 4 hour train to Cologne from Leipzig then a 18.55 flight to Gatwick.
Flights and train fares came to £380 which i didn't think was too shabby.
