Getting to the venue

Updated travel information:

Train: Delegates should note that due to S-Bhan closures on routes to Munich airport the following train lines are affected S1, S8 and RE22, which means that travellers will not be able to reach Munich airport by rail, a bus replacement service is in place. The line suspension continues until Monday 13 November.

During this period, the airport will be reachable in the following ways:

• The S1 will shuttle alternately between the Neufahrn and Freising stops and the Neufahrn and Besucherpark stops at 40-minute intervals. Between the Besucherpark and the main station at the airport terminal, there is a commuter bus that runs every ten minutes or it's around a 20-minute walk.
• There is a rail replacement service for the S8 between Ismaning/Johanneskirchen and the airport terminal station.
• At night, between 22:30 and 04:00, there will be an SEV between Neufahrn and the airport terminal and between Johanneskirchen/Ismaning.
• The RE22 will be replaced by buses between Freising and Munich Airport until 16 November.

Passengers planning to take the train to access the airport are advised to plan up to 45 minutes of additional travel time during this disruption.
