The airport train station has an excellent network of connection with both local and national train stations.

Staff will be able to get them the most cost effective deal for their journey.

There are both underground train services and also over-ground train services. Coming to the airport or going out of the airport using train can be interesting. If you want to view the runways at the airport, then you may consider coming or going out of the airport by train. From the rail station observation deck, you can view the runways at Düssseldorf Airport. The roof of the departure terminal has another observation deck from where you can also view the runways.

All the trains coming to Düsseldorf Airport stop at the new railway station except one. The Line 11 tram that connects the airport with the main station of Bergisch Gladbach is the only exception. The underground Düsseldorf Flughafen Terminal tram station is the stop for this line.

You should not worry about missing a train. There are about 350 trains that stop at the airport on daily basis. There is always a train every 20 minutes.

High speed trains for long distance journeys are also available at the airport train station at regular intervals and train time tables are displayed at every platform.

There are some travel operators and airlines that include the transportation fare in and out of the airport in their charge. You should ask your travel operator whether they can arrange for train transportation to and from the airport.

For those arriving with heavy luggage, there is plenty of space for luggage on the trains on specially designed luggage racks, usually located right by the entrance of each passenger compartment. Another advantage of opting for train is that it is more economical than other methods of transport.

Getting to the train station is not a problem either. SkyTrain shuttle services convey passengers from the airport terminals to the airport train station. The SkyTrain shuttle is available every 3 to 7 minutes to service the high number of the trains that stop at the station on daily basis.
