The largest gateway for air travel is Frankfurt Main airport in central Germany, which offers connections to all continents and to most airports in Europe. Zurich, Munich and Vienna airports are a lot smaller but provide good connections to selected regional and intl. destinations.
A difference between flag carriers and discount airlines is discount airlines may fly to an airport some distance from the city it serves. Flag carriers usually fly to nearby airports, such as Frankfurt/Main, while no-frill airlines like Ryanair fly to Frankfurt-Hahn airport, which is two hours away from Frankfurt city and actually closer to Trier.
