Examples? No premiums to the last two European airports I've used.
Admittedly Berlin Tegel was bus (at standard fare) not rail.


Hamburg used to be premium fare bus or local standard fare bus to the S
Bahn, now it's just S Bahn at standard fare.

Geneva is standard fare to the airport. From it is free (ticket pickup in
the baggage hall), a wonderful piece of customer service given the usual
hassles of having right money on arrival.


The important difference could be airports with proper through routes rather
than dedicated branches. Zurich is now on a through route with standard
zonal fares. It has no Supersaver fares to Swiss destinations though. You
have to book separately to Zurich HB to get them.
