It is free. Nobody sells a ticket for it and nobody should ask you for one.

It goes to the upper town, not the station: for the Gare centrale take bus 29 from quay 3 or stay on the tram.

The airport's FAQ says lines 16 and 29 both "pass by the Luxembourg Central Train Station". Only the 29 does; the 16 runs through Kirchberg to Hamilius.

Every 15 to 20 minutes by day on weekdays, every 30 in the evening and all weekend; the tram from the same forecourt is every 8.

The 00:07 is the last thing to leave the airport at night, one minute after the last tram. Then nothing until 04:42.

Bus 6 follows the same road from quay 1 to Luxexpo, Kirchberg and Hamilius (22 to 28 minutes, 05:13 to 22:44, Sundays from 09:43) and is equally free; take whichever comes first.

It is free, and it is the fastest thing to the station: 18 to 23 minutes against the tram's 31.

It does not go to the upper town. Hamilius and Place d'Armes are the tram or the 16; from the Gare centrale the tram is five minutes on to Hamilius, also free.

The first bus of the morning from the airport, 04:42 on weekdays and 04:49 at weekends, twenty minutes before the tram.

Last 23:49 every day, seventeen minutes before the last tram, which also serves the Gare centrale.

Cents-Hamm is a railway halt on the way, ten to thirteen minutes out, for CFL trains without going to the main station.
