Hello
I am planning a visit to Hamburg with Ryanair, but the airport is apparently Hamburg 'Lubeck'.
How far is this from Hamburg centre? Is it another one of Ryanair's notorious destinations where the city centre is a two hour bus ride away (eg, Milan Bergamo, Frankfurt Hahn etc).
How long would a transfer take by bus and what bus number would I need. How much would this cost approx return? How frequently do they go?
Unless I have missed it, I cannot find any transfer information on Ryanair's site which is most unhelpful (apologies if I have missed it).
Any answers would be gratefully received.

Hiya,
This is the link to the Luebeck Flughafen site:
http://www.flughafen-luebeck.de/800/english/index.htm
The centre of Hamburg is about 1hr 15 mins by airport bus to Luebeck. I flew with Germanwings to Hamburg recently, it was only a bargain because they fly direct to the city, not Luebeck.
Hi again :)
Not sure how easy that site is to navigate so I've copied the English info:
"Travelling with the Airportbus from Hamburg
The airport bus runs from Hamburg to Lübeck Blankensee airport and back, with journeys timed to coincide with flights with Ryanair. Time of journey time is approximately 1 hour 15 minutes. It costs only 8,00 EUR; (single ticket) additional Information can be found by visiting.

Hope that makes it a bit clearer for you :))
lubeck is actually a very nice town itself.
you might wanna pay it a visit.
Lübeck is the perfect airport - if your destination is Lübeck (an UNESCO world heritage).

bus line #6 half hourly at :17 and :47
travel time is 28 min
single ticket is EUR 1,95
... OK - you wanted to go to Hamburg ;-)
Thanks to everyone who replied to the above question.
Very grateful to you all.

Like Amsterdam, Hamburg has a red light district. The difference is it is much smaller and it explicitly forbids women and under age men to enter. For some, it is one of the main attraction of the place, for others a nuisance. If you want to stay away from it, stay away from Reeperbahn.
St.Petri is the oldest church in Hamburg, dating back to 1195. There are some interesting works of art to be seen in St.Petri : the Grabower Altar made by Master betram in 1380 is one of them. It was first given as a donation to the church of Grabow, because their church had burned down. In 1902 that altar was bought back and is now again in St.Petri.
Another interesting work of art is the madonna that was once part of a large altar and a painting that shows St.Petri-church at the end of the 17th century, it is also interesting for tourists to see, what Hamburg looked like at that time.
St.Petri is next to Hulbe-Haus at Moenckebergstrasse
544 steps are leading up to the churchtower, 123 meters high
it is the highest churchtower, that you may step up in Hamburg
the church is open daily 10.00a.m.-06.30p.m.
One thing I really liked about Hamburg's U- and S-Bahn system was the fact that there were plenty of automated ticket machines in every station - machines that provided instructions (and directions!) in English as well as in German.
It's nice that the U-Bahn is outdoors for several segments in the Center City. Here you can see one of the sturdy bridges that supports the approach to the Baumwall Station.
Though sushi bars are commonly found throughout the city, full Japanese restaurants are few and far between in Hamburg (as well as highly priced): therefore it's always a rare and wonderful opportunity to find a place that serves a full and varied Japanese style menu. At most you normally find a few sushi bars that add miso soup, yakitori, or the occasional seaweed salad to the menu, but soba, udon, or tofu dishes usually requires a lot or research, a long journey, and a large expense account. Thankfully, in both Hafen City and the EuropaPassage on Jungfernstieg, there is a newcomer on the Japanese reataurant scene: YIN-YANG, and it offers all of the above, plus all-you-can-eat sushi offerings and specialties like teppanyaki.
Around the city centre you will find these colourful Hans Hummel figures. Hans Hummel was the famous Hamburg water carrier with a bad temper who was teased by the local children because he couldn't run after them so he would just reply with "Mors Mors!!" ("Arses! Arses! ")
