Every one of the 141 westbound S8 departures in RMV's 2026 timetable takes 29 minutes to Mainz Hauptbahnhof, at :00 and :30 past the hour, day and night.
On Sunday-to-Thursday nights, service to Mainz thins: the 02:00 and 03:00 trains end at Kelsterbach and the 04:00 slot is an S9 to Wiesbaden, so departures are hourly between 01:30 and 04:30 (01:30, 02:30, 03:30, 04:30). Friday, Saturday and pre-holiday nights keep the half-hourly S8 service. Night departures may be replaced by buses.
Until 19 September 2026, the S8 is replaced by buses between Mainz-Bischofsheim and Rüsselsheim from Friday 11 September 21:00 to Monday 14 September 05:00, with further night closures (21:00–05:00) until 25 September. Nothing has been published for after 25 September.
Going back, a Mainz city ticket (EUR 3.90, the Wiesbaden/Mainz level) is not valid to the airport; you need Preisstufe 4 again.
