Although the airport is far from Munich, getting to town couldn’t be simpler. The fastest and cheapest way into the city is to take S-Bahn lines S1 or S8, departing from underneath the Central Area. Buy tickets from the automated dispensers or from the ticket counter and make sure to validate them before descending to the tracks. Alternatively, you could exit terminals A or D to take the Lufthansa airport bus to the main train station, which departs every 20 minutes from 06:25 - 21:45. The trip takes 45 minutes and costs €9 (children €4.50). For direct transport to the Munich fairgrounds take the shuttle from terminals A and D (between 08:35 - 18:05) for €8.
