This is the only train at the station under the terminal. The regional and long-distance trains — including the ones that run all night — stop at "Düsseldorf Flughafen", a different station 2.5 km away, reached by the SkyTrain.

Validate a paper ticket before you board; one bought in the app is valid as it is.

The same EUR 3.80 ticket also covers the U80 and bus 721, so if the S11 is not running take whichever leaves first.

Twice the S11's time for the same EUR 3.80. It earns a place as the one way in on the road, and as the last thing running on Friday and Saturday nights: 01:24, when the S11 has also gone.

The driver sells tickets but may not change large notes; have coins or a card-bought app ticket ready.
