Amazingly wrong assumption. However, you had your Hbf - Airport ticket which mandatorily is an local transport authority ticket valid on the Skytrain. Why - serious question - do you believe you find ticket machines on each Skytrain platform? Just for the sake of having fun? Several airline tickets (not these bought on LH.com) include local transport but the general cusstomer has to pay.
