Bus 361

30-minute free ride from LUX to specific outlying communes

Bus 361 is part of the RGTR regional network and runs to the airport in around 30 minutes, aimed more at residents and workers from certain villages than short-stay visitors. It’s fully covered by Luxembourg’s free domestic public transport policy, so you pay $0 for the trip as long as you stay inside the country. Think of it as a commuter line to Terminal A/B rather than a tourist shuttle.

The bus leaves from the public transport stops directly outside the LUX terminal serving A and B, usually signed as an RGTR route rather than a city line like 16 or 29. Frequency is about every 30 minutes during core times, but Reddit commuters flag that some 36x routes thin out heavily outside peaks and may have limited or no weekend service. Always pull up the exact 361 timetable on Mobiliteit.lu before you rely on it for a flight.

Because Bus 361 is regional, it often doesn’t appear as prominently on airport posters or digital boards as lines 16 and 29 that cover Kirchberg and the city center every few minutes. One r/Luxembourg commuter literally called the 36x buses “the only realistic option” from their village if they work near the airport. If your address matches one of the 361 communes, this is likely your most direct $0 link to LUX.

Regular riders build their whole day around specific 361 departures, sometimes leaving work or the terminal 20–30 minutes earlier than they otherwise would to avoid cutting it close. Miss one evening bus and reports say you might be stuck for an hour or more waiting for the next direct 361, with few alternative RGTR lines serving the same small villages. That’s painful if you’re landing at 18:45 and the next realistic bus is after 20:00.

Watch out for the timetable gaps: users complain that late-night options are thin, and some departures disappear completely on Sundays or holidays. If your flight lands at LUX after 22:00, assume Bus 361 probably won’t help and budget for a taxi or rideshare instead, which can easily run €30–€40 for a similar regional distance. In winter, also factor in that a missed connection could mean waiting in the cold at an exposed stop outside the terminal.

How to use Bus 361 step by step

• 1. Before travel, check Mobiliteit.lu or the app for “Bus 361” and confirm it serves your commune on your exact date and time.
• 2. Note the departure time that gets you to LUX at least 90 minutes before your flight from Terminal A or B.
• 3. On the day, arrive at your local 361 stop 5–10 minutes early; buses do occasionally run a couple of minutes ahead outside city traffic.
• 4. Board through the front door, and if the driver asks, say “Flughafen” or “Aéroport” so they know you’re heading to LUX.
• 5. You don’t need a ticket for domestic travel, but carry ID since inspectors on RGTR buses still do random checks.
• 6. At the airport, get off at the signed “Aéroport Luxembourg-Findel” stop and follow the marked path (about 2–3 minutes’ walk) into the terminal.
• 7. For the return, check the 361 timetable again before you land; if the last bus home leaves before your arrival time, line up a Plan B like a city bus plus tram combo or a taxi.

One tip: if your commune also has a connection via Kirchberg, combine 361 with the tram or a city bus like 16 to LUX to give yourself more backup options if something on the 361 leg runs late.
