Where each one leaves you
X15 · RMV express bus, RMV tariffX15 express bus to Darmstadt
From
The bus station in front of Terminal 1; the bus then serves the airport's own site gates — Tor 3, the Lufthansa base, Tor 23 to Tor 31 — before leaving the grounds
To
Darmstadt Mathildenplatz in 63 to 68 minutes, via Walldorf, Mörfelden, Gräfenhausen, Otto-Röhm-Straße and Willy-Brandt-Platz; it does not call at Darmstadt Hauptbahnhof or Luisenplatz
Luggage
An ordinary RMV express bus, not a coach; no published luggage rule.
Runs
05:16–00:16
Journey
63–68 min

Twice the AirLiner's journey time, once an hour, ending at Mathildenplatz rather than the Hauptbahnhof. It is EUR 3.80 a head cheaper — EUR 19.00 cheaper for five with a group ticket — and the only Darmstadt bus with no surcharge on a plain RMV ticket.

The first 15 minutes are spent on the airport's own grounds: the timetable puts Tor 31 fifteen minutes out and Walldorf Okrifteler Straße twenty.

Last bus 00:16, first 05:16, every day; nothing to Darmstadt from this airport in between.

The fare level is RMV's matrix figure for the relation, which RMV says is "for the shortest possible connection"; the X15's own fare level is not published elsewhere. Buy the ticket to Darmstadt, not to an intermediate town.

The coach runs through the day and the small hours but not on a daily pattern: from Frankfurt Airport the first leaves between 02:05 and 03:50 and the last between 18:05 and 22:20, depending on the day. Check the day you travel.

It is the Hahn coach calling at Frankfurt Airport on its way from the Hauptbahnhof: it takes no passenger from the Hauptbahnhof to the airport or from the airport to Mainz.

From Terminal 2 the coach park is a free terminal bus or the SkyLine to Terminal 1 away, then a walk following the signs for P36 and Fernbusse.
