Worth knowing
Monday to Friday from 05:08, last 00:38. Friday and Saturday nights the S2 carries on hourly all night (01:08, 02:08, 03:08, 04:08). Every 15 minutes most of the day; every 30 minutes early, late and on Sunday evenings.
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.

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