Luggage. No stated limit; it is a city bus, so a full one is uncomfortable with cases.

Boards at. Airport station, at the far end of the arrivals concourse

A single airport ticket. There is no group fare; a return is EUR 16, and reduced fares of EUR 4.50 apply to children 6 to 18, over-65s and students.

Luggage. No limit, and the airport branch is rarely crowded before the city stations.

Hours. Airport trains run every 36 minutes, all week. STASY runs Lines 2 and 3 around the clock every Saturday night, but states that routes to and from the airport are excluded — so a late Saturday landing has no metro either.
