It is free, and that is the law, not a promotion. Nobody at the stop or on the tram should be selling anything; the only ticket sold in the country is first class on a train.

Hamilius is the upper town, the Gare Centrale is the station quarter: five tram minutes apart on the same line. Stay on past Hamilius for the station.

Twenty-six minutes to Hamilius is the scheduled time on every departure; the airport's 10 km is to the station, which is 31 to 32 minutes.

Last from the airport 00:06 every day, first 05:03 on weekdays and about 05:05 at weekends. Between those nothing public leaves Findel.

The stop is not at the terminal door: it is at the far end of the forecourt beyond the bus quays. Follow the signs for "Tram" or "T1".

The tram reached the airport on 2 March 2025. Guides written before then send you to a bus; the bus still runs, but the tram is the one every eight minutes.
