background
getting there
By train
- At the Düsseldorf Airport train station ICE and IC lines as well as regional lines stop mainly in the direction of the Ruhr area (and further in the direction of Hanover) and to Cologne. From the train station the Skytrain to the terminal building of the airport. The train ticket is considered a ticket. Further journeys by public transport to this train station: down and back
- Düsseldorf Airport Terminal, located directly in the terminal building near departure area C, is only served by the S-Bahn line S11 (from / to Bergisch Gladbach) and a night train on the RegionalExpress line 4 (from Aachen) (12 minutes from Düsseldorf Hbf). Departures in the direction of Bergisch Gladbach take place at the minutes xx: 04, xx: 24 and xx: 44 (minutes xx: 24 and xx: 54 on Saturdays, Sundays and public holidays, Mon - Fri from 7 p.m.) (as of August 2018)
Regional and S-Bahn trains run from both stations directly to Düsseldorf Central Station. While the journey from the long-distance train station requires an additional journey with the SkyTrain, it can still make sense to take this detour instead of taking the S-Bahn from the terminal train station (unless you are there at one of the above departure times arrives). In particular, passengers with the main train station as their destination benefit from a significantly closer train sequence and a journey time that is several minutes shorter due to the lack of intermediate stops (apart from the S1, which serves the same stops as the S11).
