Train
Düsseldorf Airport has two railway stations, one for the suburban lines (Düsseldorf and nearby towns) and the other for long-distance routes.
- The first airport railway station is located some 2.5 kilometres from the airport terminal and it is called Düsseldorf-Lohausen. This railway station is served by all categories of German train lines, including high speed trains. It is more suitable than the other one in case you want to travel directly to other cities.
- The second railway station is located directly at Düsseldorf Airport, below the terminal. The line which runs here connects the airport with Düsseldorf city centre (S11). Tickets can be bought at the vending machine at the SkyTrain platform.

From DUS to Amsterdam: There are direct trains departing from Düsseldorf Airport (Düsseldorf-Lohausen station) to Amsterdam Centraal.

Hi i would like to reach bad bentheim from Düsseldorf airport. Which is the cheapest way?
Dear Filda,
the cheapest way might be a train. One of the options is to take a train from Dusseldorf Flughafen Terminal to Central Station in Dusseldorf. There you need to change a train to Rheine Central Station where you need to change a train once again to Bad Bentheim. The total journey should take up to 3 hours.
Best regards,
