Hourly, so the wait can be longer than the ride. Between trains bus 635 does the same job in 16 minutes on the same ticket, every 10 minutes.

It is a regional express on the MVV tariff only as far as the MVV area reaches: an MVV single, a Streifenkarte strip or a day ticket covers Freising; Moosburg and Landshut are further out and are priced by the Deutschlandtarif or a Bayern-Ticket instead.

Alternate trains are run by DB Regio Bayern and by agilis, according to both MVV's and the state's timetable data; the ticket is the same on either.

The last train is 00:21 and the first 04:28. The 635 bus runs later, to 01:01, and starts earlier, at 03:51.

Not the s-bahn. Erding is the end of the S2 from Munich, which never comes near the airport: by rail you would ride into the city and out again on an M-5 ticket. This bus is direct.

Five people: one EUR 18.70 Streifenkarte, two strips each, or the EUR 19.70 two-zone Gruppen-Tageskarte. Four or fewer: singles at EUR 4.20 are cheaper.

It is a stopping bus through three villages, 30 or 34 minutes depending on the departure, every 20 minutes on weekdays and every 40 at weekends.

The last bus is 02:13 on weeknights and 01:53 at weekends, the first 03:53 every day; nothing runs in between.

The Kurzstrecke short-hop fare does not apply between the airport and Schwaig — printed on the line's own timetable — so the first stops cost the full EUR 4.20 too.
