Detailed Munich Train/Airport question
If you needed to get to the Munich airport as quickly as possible at 3 or 4 pm on a weekday from a location near the Meridien Hotel (actually 1/2 mile West at Bayerstrasse and Martin-Greif-Strasse), how would you do it - cab or train? And, if you know, are cabs easy to hail on the street at that location? Or should I just walk to train station?
Thanks
Thanks

scatcat is right. The train will be a more reliable option than a cab which may get stuck in traffic.
From that intersection you mentioned, it's a 5 minute walk north to Hackerbrücke S-Bahn station.
S1 and S8 trains go to airport from there, which means there will be a train every 10 minutes appr..
S1 goes westbound, S8 eastbound - so don't be irritated that you have to take a train to the same destination from opposite tracks.
Total travel time incl. walk to station, wait for next train, and the ride itself should be 60-65min.

That's correct, Larry.
When using S1 trains, you should get into the rear section of the train with displays showing "Flughafen / Airport" as destination. If you should be in the wrong section, you have more than enough time to change at Neufahrn, where the train is split up. Announcements will also be in English when the train pulls into Neufahrn station.
