The airport is about 18 km southeast of the city center; the City Airport Train (CAT) takes roughly 16–20 minutes (usually for a higher fare), while the S-Bahn and regional trains take about 25 minutes at lower cost. Taxis and ride-shares are common choices (roughly 20–40 minutes depending on traffic). Pros: frequent international routes and solid transfer facilities. Cons: can be busier and slightly pricier than secondary airports for low-cost travelers.
