Cologne Bonn Airport (CGN) serves as the region’s main international gateway, handling a mix of full-service carriers and many low-cost airlines, so fares can range from budget-friendly to mid-tier depending on season. The airport sits about 15–20 km southeast of Cologne city center; by regional S-Bahn or express bus it’s usually a 15–30 minute trip, with single fares typically modest. Taxis and ride-hailing take roughly 20–35 minutes and cost more. Facilities are straightforward with duty-free, lounges and several car hire desks; it’s convenient for quick access to the city but can be busy during peak periods and may have fewer long-haul connections than larger hubs.
Düsseldorf Airport (DUS) is the region’s main international hub, handling a mix of full-service carriers and low-cost airlines on European and intercontinental routes. Located about 7–10 km north of the city center, it's usually a 15–25 minute drive depending on traffic. Regular regional and intercity trains connect the airport to central Düsseldorf in roughly 12–20 minutes; S-Bahn and regional express fares typically fall in the low single-digit euros, while taxis can be noticeably pricier. The airport is often seen as convenient and well-equipped, with a wide range of shops and lounges; however, peak-hour crowds and occasional delays can make transfers feel rushed. Good onward connections make it practical for both business and leisure travelers.
