Hamburg(HAM) has a big international airport. The skyscanner map and google flights can be quite helpful for finding flights and google now includes a price tracker.

The Airport Bus From Hamburg To Kiel

The ‘Keilus Bus’ goes from outside the Hamburg airport terminals to outside Kiel central train station at Kiel, Bahnhofsvorplatz.
The keilus bus website looks excellent and has all the information you need. It says the bus leaves hourly from stop B, immediately outside the airport terminals. You need to select the Kiel, Bahnhofsvorplatz stop which is next to the train station in Kiel.

You can only pay in cash if you want to buy a ticket from the driver. If you use the Keilus online shop, you can use a credit card or PayPal. The system will then immediately send you the ticket by e-mail, and you can print it out at home.

The bus takes approximately one and a half hours. When we checked the ticket price was 21 Euros
The online shop appears to be only available in German. Google Translate is a handy way to decifer it.
