Dresden Airport (DRS) serves as a compact regional and international gateway rather than a large hub, handling a mix of scheduled European carriers, leisure airlines and occasional seasonal charters. Fares can be modest compared with major German hubs, though prices vary by route and season. The airport lies about 9–11 km north of Dresden’s historic center; typical travel options include the S-Bahn S2 (around 20–25 minutes), regional bus services (25–30 minutes) and taxis or ride-shares (15–25 minutes, higher cost). Pros: short walking distances, simple connections and limited crowds; cons: fewer long-haul or high-frequency choices and less extensive on-site shopping or lounges than larger airports.
