- Arrival at Frankfurt/Main airport (FRA) (see also http://www.frankfurt-airport.com):
There are two train stations at Frankfurt airport, one for long distance trains and one for commuter trains. There is little gain in taking a more expensive long distance train, which run less frequently. Hence look for the commuter train station "Regionalbahnhof" and buy a ticket to Mainz (currently 4,10 EUR) at the ticket machine. Take the S8 commuter train to Wiesbaden (NOT the S9 to Wiesbaden) and get off at Mainz central station (Hauptbahnhof). The S8 departs every half an hour at hh:29 and hh:59. In addition, there are a few regional trains (e.g., R80). Check the RMV website (http://www.rmv.de/en/) for best connections. After arriving in Mainz, please proceed as explained under section "By train".
- Arrival at Frankfurt-Hahn (Hunsrück) airport: For the transit from Hahn airport there is a shuttle bus (1 hour ride) which has a time schedule that can be found here. After arriving in Mainz, please proceed as explained under section "By train".
