S-Bahn S1orS1 and RE8 to Lübeck?

S1 · S-Bahn Hamburg, hvv tariffS-Bahn S1

From

Station "Hamburg Airport (Flughafen)" directly beneath the terminals, reached from the arrivals level of Terminals 1 and 2 by lift, escalator or stairs

To

Hamburg Hauptbahnhof in 25 minutes, Jungfernstieg in 29, Altona in 38

Luggage

A commuter train with standing room by the doors; busy at rush hour.

Runs

04:32–00:12

Journey

25 min

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.

S-Bahn S1: price for every party size

S1→RE8 · S-Bahn Hamburg and DB Regio, on the Schleswig-Holstein-TarifS1 and RE8 to Lübeck

From

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

To

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.
