S1 and S8, direct
S-Bahn München
The parts people get wrong. Each one links to where we checked it.
Easy to get wrong
S1 and S8 alternate rather than both running the same route: S1 goes via the west of the city, S8 via the east, but both start and end at the same airport and Hauptbahnhof platforms, so either one gets you there — no need to wait for a specific line.

Fixed fare
The airport sits in MVV fare zone 5. A day ticket covering zones M-5 (single traveller) is €16.30 — there is no separate flat single-journey airport supplement the way Berlin charges one on its metro.

Hours
Trains run every 10 minutes for most of the day since S1 and S8 interleave, dropping to every 20 minutes on S8 alone between roughly 1 a.m. and 4 a.m. when S1 is not running.
