An ordinary ABC single — the express carries no supplement. A 4-Fahrten-Karte is EUR 16.80 for four rides, one coupon per person per journey: four people travelling together share one card and pay EUR 16.80 instead of EUR 20.00.

Luggage. A regional train with racks; it is built for the route.

Hours. The airport describes the FEX as running "24/7, von 4 Uhr bis 1 Uhr alle 15 Minuten" — every fifteen minutes between 04:00 and 01:00. Since December 2025 it runs direct via the Dresdner Bahn, which cut the journey from about 39 minutes to about 23.
