Connecting to Train in CGN

Could someone please help me see the size of the CGN airport because the map on their web site does not have a scale. I booked an ICE ticket in the train station 45 minutes after my germanwings (Terminal 1) flight lands. Considering luggage might take 30 minutes to come out, is it unreasonable to assume 15 minutes to get to the train?

No, this is certainly possible without too much problems.

Terminal 1 in CGN has now one central arrival area. (basically after luggage belts, everybody appear out of the same exit) From there walk straight towards Terminal 2 and make your way all the way downstairs where the train station is.

If you travel towards the south from the airport, your train will likely depart from the closer platform, if you go towards the north (through Cologne city), your train will likely depart on the second platform.

Hi,

if the flight's scheduled arrival is 08:00, how feasible is to catch the train departing at 08:22 ?

Impossible, especially if you have luggage and/or are behind the wing on the plane, I would recommend at least an hour.

+1 - I have done 30 minutes, but 22 is impossible
