Follow the route-specific instructions above. A paper ticket may need stamping, an app ticket may need activation, and a contactless journey may require both entry and exit taps. These are different systems: do not assume one rule applies everywhere.
Use official machines, counters or the operator’s app. Keep the ticket or payment device until you have left the final station. A payment receipt is not always the travel ticket.
Before buying, enter every child’s exact age and check whether an infant needs a reserved seat. Resident or school concessions may not apply to visitors. Confirm luggage and pushchair rules with the airport-service operator.
Do not assume a 24-, 48- or 72-hour city pass includes the airport, a premium express service or a regional onward journey. Check the named operator, zones and airport supplements first.
Use an airport-approved taxi rank or book with a licensed company; request a fixed airport quote and confirm the total for your destination. Return pickup should be reserved with the same company or app.
Expected cost
Compare the displayed fixed price; taxi pricing varies by company.
Taxi information ↗App availability and airport pickup rules vary. Use the airport’s named providers; a ride available in the city may not be authorised to collect at every terminal.
Start with your airline’s required airport arrival time. Add the full ground journey, walking between terminals, waiting time and a buffer for disruption. For a route with changes, check the first local departure as well as the airport service.
An early flight may leave before public transport starts. Compare a pre-booked taxi, an earlier coach or an airport-area overnight stay.
Select the actual date, direction and terminal. Check weekday, weekend and holiday schedules, the last service and any replacement buses. A scheduled time is not necessarily a live prediction.
