Dresden Airport (DRS) serves as a compact regional gateway to the Saxony capital, typically handling a mix of European low-cost carriers, leisure charters and a few networked services. It’s not a major intercontinental hub but usually offers convenient point-to-point connections across Germany and nearby countries. The airport lies about 9–10 km north of Dresden’s city centre; travel by S-Bahn or regional bus usually takes 20–30 minutes with fares commonly in the low single digits, while taxis can be quicker but cost noticeably more. Pros include a small, easy-to-navigate terminal and relatively short transfer times; cons can be fewer flight options and potentially higher fares on some routes compared with larger hubs.
Cologne Bonn Airport (CGN) is the region’s main international gateway, serving a mix of full-service carriers and a sizeable number of low-cost airlines, so fares can range from budget-friendly to premium depending on carrier and season. Located about 15 km southeast of Cologne’s city center, it is typically reached by regional train (S-Bahn/RE) in roughly 15–20 minutes, by taxi in 20–30 minutes, or by bus with similar journey times; expect public-transport tickets to be modestly priced and taxis to cost notably more. The airport is generally compact and easy to navigate with decent shopping and dining; it can be busier and slightly less central than smaller domestic fields, but it offers broad route coverage and solid transit links for most travelers.
