Allgäu Airport Express coachorAirport City Shuttle to Memmingen station?

The short answer

These do not go to the same place, so price is not the comparison. The Allgäu Airport Express coach reaches Munich Hauptbahnhof, with the ZOB coach station a few minutes west; the Airport City Shuttle to Memmingen station does not. Runs to Memmingen station, 6 km away, not to Munich. From there regional trains reach Munich Hauptbahnhof in about 1 hour 40 minutes, on a Bayern-Ticket or a Deutschlandticket; no single fare for that train is published here.

The Airport City Shuttle to Memmingen station is quicker: 10 min against 1 h 20.

Allgäu Airport Express coach: 07:00–22:45. Airport City Shuttle to Memmingen station: 04:50–23:10.

Book online: EUR 16.99 against EUR 23 from the driver, and the seat is guaranteed. Online sales close an hour before departure; early bookers get a limited number of EUR 9.90 seats on every trip.

The timetable is re-issued every week and timed to the flights. It is not a fixed pattern — the first coach was 04:20 one week and after 07:00 the next — so read the current week before you rely on a departure.

Your ticket is valid only for the coach you booked. Miss it and a later coach takes you only if seats are left after those who booked it; nothing is refunded.

Going back, the last coach from Munich is 17:00 most days, 17:15 on Thursdays and 16:00 on Sundays. An evening flight has no coach.

A Deutschlandticket is not valid on this coach.

It reaches Memmingen, not Munich. It is the right answer if Memmingen is where you are going, or if you are travelling on by train — the trains to Munich take about 1 hour 40 minutes and are covered by a Bayern-Ticket (EUR 34 for one, EUR 10 for each of up to four more, weekdays from 09:00) or a Deutschlandticket.

A Deutsche Bahn ticket booked to "Memmingen Allgäu Airport" rather than to Memmingen already includes this ride, so book to the airport and show the driver the rail ticket.

Groups of more than ten must be registered 24 hours ahead.
