EUR 6.48 is the lowest fare Avanza states for this ride; the operator publishes no single fixed price, and the fare can be higher depending on the departure and how far ahead you book. Buy at the airport ticket counter (daily 07:45–23:00) or online in advance.

Hours. Spacing is uneven through the day rather than a fixed headway — sometimes two coaches within 10 minutes, sometimes a gap of an hour or more. The first from the airport is 08:45, the last 23:59, which (like the 23:15 before it) is sold only as an advance purchase, not at the counter or on board.
