FAQ

Are airport express trains worth it?
Usually yes for solo travellers and couples with light luggage — they're faster and far cheaper than a taxi in most cities. For groups of three or more, or with heavy bags, a taxi or rideshare can win on cost and convenience. Each of our guides gives the break-even point for that specific city.
How do I buy a ticket for an airport train?
At the station (machine or counter) or, in most cities, via the operator's official app or website. We link only to official operators — never resellers.
Is the airport express the same as the metro/subway?
Not always. Some cities run a dedicated premium express (e.g. Heathrow Express); others use a regular metro or commuter line as the main airport link. Our guide for each city tells you which — and which is the better deal.
