Buy two zones. A one-zone ticket, or the Leinfelden-Echterdingen StadtTicket sold at the airport machines, does not reach the centre.

Four or more of you: the GruppenTagesTicket, EUR 18.90 for up to five, beats EUR 4.90 a head. For exactly four at the machine, a 4er-Ticket at EUR 18.40 is cheaper still.

Sunday to Thursday nights the last train is 00:38; the next thing to the centre is the first U6 at 04:21.

On Saturday no S3 runs to the airport; every train is an S2, every 15 minutes from about 08:00.
