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.

U80 · RheinbahnU80 light rail from Terminal C

From

The Flughafen Terminal light-rail stop at Terminal C

To

Düsseldorf Hauptbahnhof, about 18 minutes, calling at Heinrich-Heine-Allee for the Altstadt on the way

Luggage

A light-rail car with standing room; no published luggage rule.

Runs

Journey

19 min

Six minutes slower than the S11 for the same EUR 3.80, but it stops at Heinrich-Heine-Allee, in the Altstadt, which the S11 does not — and it runs an hour earlier in the morning.

It ends at 01:03. The last S11 leaves 21 minutes later, at 01:24, and after that nothing leaves the terminal until this line restarts at 04:16 (04:03 at weekends).

The U81 from the same stop runs only on selected event days, to the Messe and the arena — not into town.
