Buy the Gruppentageskarte if there are four or more of you, or three of you making a return trip today. It is EUR 22.50 whether you are four or five, against EUR 6.90 each in singles, and the machines do not suggest it.
Write every traveler's name on the group ticket before you board and carry photo ID: it is not transferable, and VGF states that blank name fields make it invalid.
S8 and S9 are interchangeable for this leg: both call at the Regionalbahnhof and both reach the Hauptbahnhof (tief) in 14 minutes. They differ only west of the airport and east of the city.
Do not walk to the Fernbahnhof. It is signposted, its trains are faster, and your RMV ticket is not valid on any of them.
At night the S8 runs alone, every 30 minutes, at :00 and :30 from midnight to 04:30. Those departures carry RMV's regular-maintenance flag, which means a bus can stand in on some nights; check before relying on one.
Until 19 September 2026 Deutsche Bahn has closures between Kelsterbach and Wiesbaden, west of the airport. They do not touch the airport-to-city leg, but the timetable is being altered around them.
The S-Bahn also leaves you at Taunusanlage, Hauptwache and Konstablerwache on the same ticket, so pick the stop nearest your hotel rather than defaulting to the main station.
S-Bahn S8 or S9: price for every party size
