I have to take the early morning flight back to my country , for fear of missing my flight and bad reputation of always overbooking of my airline so I plan to take the latest train from Rothenburg to Frankfurt Airport which arrives airport at 23.00 and take a short sleep there, I would like to know it is safe for a single women traveller to sleep there and the shopping is open 24 hrs, welcome all suggestions , please help, thanks

I was there yesterday at 6am and there were many people still waking up from
doing just what you plan (or maybe they were just stranded on overnight
layovers). It was pretty crowded but I don't think anyone was suffering
much. It is perfectly safe (can you imagine a safer place? It's full of
police, you have to show a ticket and passport to get in, and everyone is
checked for weapons). Frankfurt is one of the world's most boring and ugly
large airports, though, so don't expect a party.
