Getting There
By Plane
Mainz is just a half hour drive from Frankfurt. Flughafen Frankfurt am Main (IATA: FRA) is found at 12 kilometres from the city centre, and receives flights from almost all national and countless international destinations, including intercontinental flights to Asia, Africa, North America and the Middle East. Among others, Frankfurt is the primary hub of German national carrier Lufthansa.
Although located 120 kilometres from Frankfurt (but even a bit closer to Mainz!), the Frankfurt-Hahn Airport (HHN) can be of some significance if you want to have more choices regarding lowcostairlines.

The website of Deutsche Post has an online calculator for postage fees as well as a post office finder. Within Germany, sending postcards costs €0.45 and standard letters €0.55, within Europe it is €0.65 for a postcard, standard letters to places in Europe cost €0.70. Outside Europe, the prices for sending a postcard or standard letter are €1 and €1.70 respectively. Although you will find the old post offices (mainly in the city centre), most of the smaller neighbourhood post offices are part of a small tobacco shop or grocery store.
