# Strasbourg Airport (SXB) > Strasbourg, FR · 10 km (6.2 mi) west-southwest of Strasbourg Web: https://airport.flights/airport/sxb JSON: https://airport.flights/api/airport/sxb.json ## Facts - **IATA**: SXB - **ICAO**: LFST - **Timezone**: Europe/Paris - **Runways**: 1 - **Terminals**: 1 - **Passengers**: 1.3M/yr - **Official site**: https://www.strasbourg.aeroport.fr/ ## Overview ## Welcome Strasbourg Airport (SXB) might surprise you with its cozy, compact atmosphere, often compared to a regional rail hub rather than an international airport. Less than two minutes after landing, you can be at the train platform, ready to board a TER train that whisks you into Strasbourg’s city center in just 9 minutes. This seamless air-to-rail connection sets SXB apart from other airports of its size. ## At a glance SXB handles around 1.3 million passengers annually and lies a short 10 km (6.2 miles) west-southwest of Strasbourg. Despite its modest scale, it services key airlines including Air France and Ryanair. There's only one runway and a single-terminal layout, which streamlines the airport experience but leaves some travelers wanting more in terms of facilities and modern comforts. ## Terminals & layout The intimate setup of Strasbourg Airport means terminals don't have numerical designations, just one multifunctional area where arrivals and departures converge. Expect a no-frills environment, more akin to a 1990s regional station than a cutting-edge international airport, noted by many travelers as both clean and dated. ## Getting to and from the city Getting downtown from SXB is straightforward. The TER Strasbourg–Entzheim Aéroport train service connects directly from the airport station opposite the terminal building, with travel times to Strasbourg’s central station taking between 9-12 minutes and costing €2-€5. Taxis are available for €30-€40 and can take 15-25 minutes depending on traffic. ## Traveller essentials While lacking in lounges, SXB compensates with essentials like convenient parking options from P1’s short stay at €46/day to various covered and economy long-term choices. Car hire services are on the ground, offering around a 20-minute transition from landing to keys in hand. Expect limited check-in counters which can prompt longer waits during peak flight times. ## Dining & shopping highlights SXB hosts a modest range of cafés and shops. Grab a bite at venues like Minute Snack Bar or Le Comptoir des Saveurs. Don't miss the regional specialties in the small shop airside, offering Alsatian gifts like kougelhopf and local beers. Although the offerings are limited, they possess a certain authenticity not typically found at similarly sized airports. ## Lounges There are no dedicated lounges at Strasbourg Airport, a fact that’s consistently noted by travelers who otherwise enjoy lounge amenities. Instead, consider occupying a quiet corner near the café areas to create your own makeshift lounge—particularly at off-peak hours. ## Insider tips - **Time:** The TER train to Strasbourg is not just cheaper but can often be faster than taking a taxi. - **Quiet:** Pre-security, find a peaceful corner at Le Comptoir des Saveurs for a coffee and a bit of Wi-Fi. - **Avoid:** Expect no lounges here.
