Düsseldorf Airport is divided into areas A, B and C. The SkyTrain connects the railway station with the terminal and stops at areas A/B and C – running approximately every 5 to 7 minutes. Check before you travel which area is relevant for your airline.

Parking at Düsseldorf Airport

Parking directly at the terminal is convenient but expensive: multi-storey car parks near the terminal start at around €120 for 7 days. For short stays, short-term parking at P12 is best – the drop-off and pick-up ticket costs €6 for 90 minutes.

Cheaper Parking with Shuttle

Park much more conveniently and affordably near the airport with a shuttle: leave your car in our closed underground car park in Ratingen and be taken to Düsseldorf Airport DUS in around 5 minutes by the PARK 4 TRIP shuttle. Reserve your parking space at Düsseldorf Airport now.

Shopping, Dining & Duty Free

There’s often time before departure: Düsseldorf Airport offers shops, restaurants and duty-free areas.

How Early Should You Arrive?

For intra-European flights the rule of thumb is: around 2 hours before departure at the terminal (2.5 hours with checked luggage or during holidays), around 3 hours for long-haul. Add parking and the shuttle journey: at PARK 4 TRIP we recommend 20 minutes to be safe – usually that’s more than enough. With a pre-reserved space you avoid any parking search.
