In order to travel to Frankfurt (Oder) you will most probably have to go via Berlin.
If you are coming via Poland you can reach the town directly by train.
Berlin has three airports: Tegel, Schönefeld and Tempelhof. Most international flights arrive in Berlin-Tegel.
After the arrival in Berlin-Tegel you can either to take a taxi (about 12 Euro) or the bus (X9) to reach the station Zoologischer Garten. Tickets are available at the ticket-booth or directly from the driver (ca. 2,50 Euro).
If you should arrive in Berlin-Schönefeld you can either take the subway (S-Bahn) or the train (Regionalexpress, RE, also called Airport-Express) to the station Ostbahnhof. There are direct trains to Frankfurt (Oder) from both stations.
Timetables are availabe from the web site of the Deutsche Bahn. Usually the Regionalexpress (RE1) leaves every 30. Depending on the time the final destination of the train is either Frankfurt ( Oder ) or Eisenhüttenstadt or Cottbus
Please make sure that the train really stops in Frankfurt (Oder) and do not get off the train in Frankfurt (Oder) Rosengarten, but in Frankfurt (Oder), which is the next stop!
