The parts people get wrong. Each one links to where we checked it.
Easy to get wrong
The same ICE that stops at Frankfurt Airport on line 41 continues on to Frankfurt Hauptbahnhof itself minutes later — there is no need to get off at the airport and change if the city centre, not the airport, is the destination.

Easy to get wrong
A separate ICE line, 49, also links Cologne/Bonn Airport to Frankfurt Hbf via Siegburg/Bonn and Montabaur, so a traveller who misses one line's departure may still find a same-day direct alternative on the other.
