What Is The Lufthansa Express Bus?

Lufthansa Express Bus is a bus shuttle service that connects Munich International Airport – Franz Josef Strauss with the city of Munich (Main Station).
This bus is one of four ways to get from the airport to the city. In this article I would like to show you how to use the Lufthansa Express Bus, how much it costs and if it is a good alternative to the other services.

Is The Bus For Lufthansa Customers Only?

Although it may seem so, the bus is available to all travellers, no matter whether they arrived at Munich Airport on a Lufthansa or any other flight. It is run just by Lufthansa in cooperation with a local bus operator.

Where Does The Bus Stop?

The bus has six stops in total. Two of them are located in the city of Munich. The other four are the different stops at the airport terminals.

How Much Does The Bus Cost?

The prices are quite fair and you can purchase a “return ticket”, so you can not only go to Munich but also get back to the airport. The return ticket is “open”, which means you can use the shuttle bus back to the airport when you want, while return tickets of the public transport always have a time limit (e.g. 3 or 4 days).

Here are the prices (including all taxes and fees) as of 2026:

These are the prices for an online purchase through the official Lufthansa Express Bus website. Of course you can buy tickets from the driver, but the tickets will cost additional 1.00 € (one-way) or 1.20 € (return). So the online purchase is not significantly cheaper than buying your ticket from the driver:

12.50 €(approx. 14.50 USD)
  • 1 Adult (15+ years)
  • One ride in one direction
Oneway Adult

  • Children from 0 – 5 years: Free of charge

    • Oneway: 7.50 € (online), 8.00 € (from driver)
    • Return: 15.00 € (online), 16.00 € (from driver)

If you’re traveling with your family, the special Family Fare could be a bargain for you:

  • Up to 2 Adults and 3 Children (aged 6 – 14) can use the family fare for 29.50 € (approx. 34 USD)
  • The Family Fare is only available for oneway. So to have a return trip to the aiport, you have to buy two oneway trips.
  • The Family Fare is only available online!

If you have a disability, can use the Lufthansa Express Bus Munich free of charge. A disability pass is needed.

How Long Does The Bus Take To Munich Main Station?
