Buying a ticket for an airport train is simple once you know the official options. Here is what to look for in any city.
Your options
- Station machines & counters — available at the airport station; card and often cash.
- The operator's official app or website — a QR or mobile ticket in most cities.
- A travel/smart card — tap in and out; often a small discount and handy for the wider network.
Avoid resellers
You never need a third-party reseller or aggregator to ride an airport train, and they can add fees. We link only to the official operator in every guide.
Tips
Check whether the fare is flat or distance-based, whether a day/tourist pass is cheaper for your plans, and keep the ticket for the exit gate. New to this? Start with airport trains for first-time riders.
