Connection types edit

One-seat ride via main-line train edit

Commuter rail-type service directly from a city centre to the airport, without needing to change trains and sometimes without intermediate stops;

 
Airport Express train, Hong Kong
 
London's Heathrow Express runs non-stop from Paddington Station to Heathrow Airport.
 
A BM71 Airport Express train of Flytoget at Oslo Central Station.

One-seat ride via local public transport edit

Many cities also provide a link to their airports through their rapid transit or light rail systems, which, unlike express trains, often make numerous stops on the way to the airport. At some airports, such as O'Hare in Chicago or Hartsfield-Jackson in Atlanta, the rapid transit train only visits one terminal or concourse; passengers must transfer to an airport circulator (people mover system) to reach other terminals or concourses.

 
KMRT's Kaohsiung International Airport Station
 
Copenhagen Metro has unmanned trains.
 
A Baltimore Light Rail vehicle at BWI's international terminal.

Rail to airport people mover edit

A hybrid solution adopted in some cities is a direct rail connection to an airport train station instead of to the airport itself. At the airport train station, the passenger switches to a people mover or other train that goes to the airport terminals. The same system can also serve passengers moving between different terminals and traveling between the terminals and car rental lots or parking areas. Several very large airports have rail stations near some terminals, but people movers are used by many to get to some other terminals. Examples: Paris-de Gaulle and San Francisco.

Rail to bus to airport edit

Another common arrangement requires the passenger to take a train (or metro) to a railway station (usually) near the airport and then switch to a bus that goes to the airport terminals. Most medium and large size airports have bus connections from the inner city. This list only contains connections by bus from a railway station strongly associated, by branding or by name, with the airport.
