Get in and out

The airport connects to central Munich by S-Bahn (suburban train) on the S1 and S8 line. The journey (single) by 2011 costs €10 (or €10.80 for a day pass) or €19.80 for a partner ticket which is valid for up to five people, a train runs every 5 to 20 minutes and it takes about 40 minutes to get to the central station. For more information see the get around section. Lufthansa also offers an hourly bus to/from the main train station that is comparably priced (travel time can vary as subject to traffic).

A slightly cheaper option to get to town is to buy a Tageskarte Außenraum (daypass for the city’s outskirts) (single: 5,40€, partner: 9,80€) and buy an additional single ticket (2,50€ per person) for the trip in the inner city. If traveling from the airport, the latter ticket only has to be validated in Feldmoching station, which means, that you can only travel using the S1 train. You’ll have to exit (or change for the underground train) in Feldmoching. If traveling from downtown to the airport, you can just validate both tickets and the restriction does not apply anymore.
