One Preisstufe A single, EUR 3.80, covers both the SkyTrain and the train; a child EUR 2.10. A Deutschlandticket and a Rail&Fly ticket cover both as well. Without a ticket the SkyTrain is paid by tapping a bank card or phone at its entrance and exit, at a distance-based price that is never more than a regular ticket.

Travelling as three or four?

A private car to your door: €68 for four

20–30 min.

Worth knowing

The SkyTrain sets the hours: 03:45 to 00:45 daily, every 5 to 7 minutes. From the far station about seven trains an hour reach the Hauptbahnhof by day, and they carry on through the night — 01:34, 01:57 and 03:33, plus 02:33 on Friday and Saturday nights — when the SkyTrain has stopped. Until 25 October 2026 a shuttle bus links the terminal and that station from 02:15 to 03:30.

Buy the ticket before the SkyTrain and keep it: a Preisstufe A single, a Deutschlandticket or a Rail&Fly ticket is valid on the SkyTrain, and otherwise you tap a bank card at its entrance and again on leaving.

The night trains at Düsseldorf Flughafen station (01:34, 01:57, 03:33; 02:33 at weekends) cannot be reached by SkyTrain, which stops from 00:45 to 03:45. Until 25 October 2026 a shuttle bus runs 02:15 to 03:30; after that, a taxi.

Until 30 October 2026 works around Duisburg and Essen divert or cancel some of these regional trains; check the departure boards at the SkyTrain station before you ride out.
