Good Morning .
I am travelling to Munich soon and I am planning to use rail from airport to the main train station.
I have read on several posts that to do this you must make one transfer
Does anyone know at what stop do u get off and what is the transfer that you pick up?
Thx

there are several ways to go from the airport to the hbf. i downloaded the mvgo app and used it extensively to navigate in and around munich including going to and from the airport. easy to purchase tickets on the app as well.

I don't know of a required change. There are two S-Bahn lines between the airport and the Hauptbahnhof. One goes clockwise, the other anti-clockwise. They are quite close in overall time.
Be aware of all the construction going on at the Hauptbahnhof making a real mess of the place.

I caught my direct airport-bound S8 train from Ostbahnof (east station) and required no transfers. I'm fairly certain that same S8 train passed through Hauptbahnof (main station) before my stop.
I think the S1 train from Haupbahnof also gets you directly to the airport as well but takes a different route and is maybe 10 minutes longer.

S1 or S8 neither one requires a change.

Tom is correct; you can take either the S1 or S8. The time difference between the two options is minimal, so just hop on which ever train leaves next.
Is your hotel near the central train station, or are you using it to connect somewhere else in the city? You might be able to get off at a different S-bahn stop and avoid the train station completely.
