Book online for EUR 26 (child EUR 15) rather than EUR 27 (EUR 16) from the driver.

The cheaper Sparpreis fares, from EUR 16, are a limited daily quota sold online only and fixed to the date you choose.

This is KIELIUS's own long-distance fare, not the Deutschlandticket or the Schleswig-Holstein-Tarif — neither is valid on board.

No seat reservation: any KIELIUS ticket that is not a dated Sparpreis fare works on any departure.

From
The S1 platform at the airport, the same train that runs to the Hauptbahnhof

Lübeck Hauptbahnhof, changing trains at Hamburg Hauptbahnhof — usually onto the RE8, sometimes the RE80
Luggage
The S1, then an ordinary regional train with racks.
Journey
80–87 min

One ticket covers the whole ride — the S1 into town and the regional train onward — so do not buy a separate Hamburg single first.

Change at Hamburg Hauptbahnhof; the onward train toward Lübeck is usually signed RE8, sometimes RE80.

A Deutschlandticket also covers this whole relation, both trains, if you already hold one: no extra ticket needed.

Runs roughly hourly; not every departure follows the same route, so check the board at the Hauptbahnhof.
