Boards at. The bus station outside Terminal 1, stand (Bussteig) 5; the bus calls at Terminal 2 three minutes later

On the SB60, a single or 24-hour ticket between Bonn and the airport is level 2 — EUR 5.50 an adult, EUR 2.50 a child — plus a EUR 5.00 (adult) or EUR 2.50 (child) surcharge, per person, per ride, payable even by a child riding free on another ticket. So EUR 10.50 an adult, EUR 5.00 a child; five on the level-2 24hTicket 5 Personen (EUR 26.40) pay EUR 51.40, though four singles at EUR 42.00 still beat four surcharges (EUR 46.40). Deutschlandticket holders and eezy.nrw check-in fares pay no surcharge, per SWB.

Luggage. A low-floor express bus that SWB says runs at motorway speed; no wheelchair space on board, so folding wheelchairs travel as luggage.

Hours. From Terminal 1, stand 5: Monday to Friday every 30 minutes, 05:30 to 23:30, then 00:30. Saturday every 30 minutes to 17:30, then hourly 18:30 to 23:30 and 00:30. Sunday and holidays hourly 05:30 to 13:30, then every 30 minutes, 14:00 to 23:30, and 00:30. Nothing between 00:30 and 05:30. Terminal 2 is served three minutes later.

Price for every party size · Fare source

Take the SB60 express bus from stand 5 outside Terminal 1 (Terminal 2, three minutes later): every 30 minutes from 05:30 to 23:30, then a last bus at 00:30, 41 minutes to Bonn Hauptbahnhof via Konrad-Adenauer-Platz in Beuel (26 minutes), Brüdergasse (36) and Markt (38). The fare is EUR 10.50 an adult (EUR 5.00 a child): a level-2 ticket, EUR 5.50, plus a EUR 5.00 surcharge per person per ride — due even on a 24hTicket, so five people pay EUR 51.40. Buy both in the VRS app or the cashless machine behind the driver; Deutschlandticket and eezy.nrw check-in fares pay no surcharge. The train costs more (level 3, EUR 13.90) and needs a change, with no direct service to Bonn Hauptbahnhof. Nothing runs to Bonn between 00:30 and 05:30 except a taxi. Since 9 February 2026 the bus has been diverted and skips Mozartstraße, Frankenbad, Innenministerium and Beethovenhalle; there is no wheelchair space, and SWB asks powered-wheelchair users to book 120 minutes ahead on 02441 99454545.
