I've made an error in judgement and have booked my Ryanair flight to Frankfurt (HAHN, I didn't think RyanAir would take me this far out of a city!). It was cheap and I regret my decision now. The problem is that I arrive in Frankfurt Hahn airport (a good 90mins drive from the city) at 9:15PM.

The only buses I can see are around 12AM or 2AM. This means a BIG gap at the airport and I'm not exactly sure if it's legal for me to linger that long? I can linger until 2AM if I need to.

Alternatively I can just book another flight and say good bye to my relatively cheap ticket goodbye... but that seems more expensive than to just sleep at the expensive hotels at the airport. Can I even get out of this flight? It's for the 29th of September and with RyanAir. Sorry, it is my first time flying in Europe.

Note: I'm on a budget, taxis, private hires, etc are out. I'd rather wait for 5 hours in the dark than hire something that's going to break my bank.

No worries! The HHN airport is indeed far from Frankfurt, but the connections are not that bad. Just take the 10.30 pm bus. Ticket for an adult is 15€ (14€ if you buy it online).

You find the bus schdules via the airport's official site: Getting there - by bus. Click Frankfurt on the map and this timetable page opens (English translation via Google Translate).

September 29 is Tuesday, and the last departures from the airport are:

Dienstag, Abfahrt Hahn - Ankunft Frankfurt

Hahn Terminal B Frankfurt Airport   Frankfurt Hbf

[...]

20:00           21:30               21:45
22:30           00:15               00:30
23:30           01:15               01:30

00:00           01:45               02:00
00:30           02:15               02:30

(Note that departures at/after midnight are shown in the next day's—in this case Wednesday's—timetable.)
