By Bus and Train
Dear passengers,
due to various road closures resulting from the expansion of the A40/B1 motorway, there will be changes to the timetable for route 490 between 8 and 26 June (provisional). Additionally, diversions may cause significant delays to the AirportExpress service. Further information can be found here and on the DSW21 website.
Please allow plenty of time for your journey to and from the airport.
If you want to travel to and from the airport using public transport, you can take the AirportExpress which connects directly with Dortmund Central Station. If you choose to take the AirportShuttle, this takes you directly to Holzwickede station. You can travel to both stations on the Deutsche Bahn's local and intercity trains.
If you are planning to purchase your ticket online, please refer to the Deutsche Bahn website www.bahn.com/en. This only pertains to public transport and excludes shuttle tickets which can be purchased on the bus. Please note that the AirportExpress and AirportShuttle buses are not operated by Verkehrsverbund Rhein Ruhr and a separate ticket must be purchased.
When you are planning your journey, please be aware that we recommend arriving at your airline's check-in desk between 1.5 or 2 hours before departure. This is to ensure that you will not miss your flight. Even if you have already checked in online, you should leave enough time for the security checks. You should be at the gate at least 40 minutes before your flight departs.
