Line 737

Bus

Bus 40 min €2.80

€2.80 gets you from Augsburg city to AGB by Line 737

Line 737 runs between Augsburg, Karlstraße and the stop “Augsburg, Flughafen Abzw.” for about €2.80, then it’s a short walk along Flughafenstraße to the GAT terminal. Figure roughly 40 minutes door to door from central Augsburg once you add the 16‑minute bus ride and the walk from the main road.

The bus is operated by Augsburger Verkehrsgesellschaft mbH and shows up at Karlstraße roughly every 30–60 minutes depending on time of day. Rome2Rio lists a main service running about hourly with a journey time of around 16 minutes to Flughafen Abzw., which matters if you’re trying to hit a specific departure out of AGB’s GAT terminal.

Budget for a standard single ticket at around €2.80; that’s far cheaper than a taxi from Augsburg city, which can easily run 10x that for the same 16–20 km stretch. Pay the driver or use local AVV ticket options if you already move around Augsburg by bus and tram and want the airport ride folded into your existing pass.

Head to “Augsburg, Karlstraße” bus stop, which sits just a few minutes’ walk from central tram lines and is easy to line up with trains arriving at Augsburg Hauptbahnhof. From there, stay on Line 737 until “Augsburg, Flughafen Abzw.” on the main road, then walk the last few hundred meters along Flughafenstraße to reach the airport grounds and the GAT terminal.

Step-by-step: using Line 737 to Augsburg Airport

  • 1. Start in Augsburg city: Make your way to the “Augsburg, Karlstraße” stop; it’s a short walk from the city center and links easily from Augsburg Hauptbahnhof by tram.
  • 2. Buy your ticket: Get a single AVV bus ticket for about €2.80 from a machine, app, or directly from the driver when boarding Line 737.
  • 3. Board Line 737: Look for the bus toward “Augsburg, Flughafen Abzw.”; the main service runs about every hour and takes roughly 16 minutes.
  • 4. Ride to Flughafen Abzw.: Stay on the bus until the “Augsburg, Flughafen Abzw.” stop on the main road near the airport access.
  • 5. Walk to the terminal: Get off, then follow Flughafenstraße on foot for several minutes to reach Augsburg Airport’s GAT terminal building.
  • 6. Use Line 9 as backup: If you miss Line 737 in the late evening or off‑peak, check for bus line 9, which runs the same corridor roughly every 2 hours and can cut your wait so you still hit the 40‑minute total travel time.
  • 7. Build a buffer: Aim to catch a bus at least 90 minutes before check‑in cut‑off at AGB, so a missed 30–60 minute headway doesn’t put your flight out of reach.

One last tip: print or save the “Flughafen Abzw.” stop name and the GAT address (Flughafenstraße 1, 86169 Augsburg) so you can confirm with the driver and follow signs on the short walk without guessing.
