Buy before you board and it is EUR 6.00; from the driver it is EUR 6.50. A ticket bought ahead is valid on any run that day if there is a seat, and gives priority over walk-ups.

The last three runs, at 00:05, 00:35 and 01:05, are timed loosely to the late arrivals. Be at the stand ten minutes before the printed time.

Politeama is about 40 minutes out, the station 50. Ten stops along Via Libertà come first; if your hotel is in the north of the city, get off there rather than riding to the station.

The coach is cheaper and quicker to the station. The train earns its fare if you are staying near Notarbartolo, Francia or the northern stations, where it stops and the coach does not.

Weekday trains take 51 to 66 minutes; the 34-minute Genio Express leaves the airport only on Sundays and holidays.

Buy the ticket before the platform, from the machines or the app, and validate a paper one. Boarding without a ticket here costs EUR 5 on top of the fare.

The integrated Palermo day ticket does not cover the airport, which lies outside the city boundary.
