Buy the Tagesticket Gruppe if there are five or more of you, or four of you who will ride again today: EUR 16.40 whether you are four or five, against EUR 4.10 each in singles.
Buy before you step onto the platform. The machines are by the baggage belts and between the arrivals level and the platform; an app ticket bought after entering the paid area counts as no ticket, and the penalty is EUR 60.
The 7 % app discount is real and applies to every ticket here: EUR 3.81 a single, EUR 15.25 the group ticket.
Leaving the airport, any car will do. Going back, board one of the FRONT three cars from the city: the train splits at Ohlsdorf and only the front part reaches the airport.
Do not count on the weekend night trains: on Friday and Saturday nights the S1 runs all night from Poppenbüttel and not from the airport. From the airport the last train is 00:32 those nights and 00:12 otherwise, and the first is 04:32.
Do not buy the EUR 2.10 Kurzstrecke or the EUR 3.50 Nahbereich single: from the airport they reach Ohlsdorf and Rübenkamp, not the center.
No engineering closures touch the airport-to-Hauptbahnhof leg through October 2026; the S1 works listed are Altona–Bahrenfeld on 26–27 September and Ohlsdorf–Poppenbüttel on the evenings of 12–13 October.
