London's Heathrow Express runs non-stop from Paddington Station to Heathrow Airport.
Narita Express

An airport rail link is a passenger rail connection between an airport and the centre of the city it serves. Usually airport rail stations provide also connections to the other cities, thus increasing the region served by the airport. The purpose of building an airport rail link may be to reduce congestion on roads leading to the airport, to relieve long-term car parks at the airport, to encourage greater use of public transport, or to improve the (perceived) accessibility of the city centre, making it more attractive for tourists and businesses.

Rail to airport people mover

New York City's AirTrain JFK provides dedicated airport services.

A hybrid solution adopted in some cities is a direct rail connection to an airport train station instead of to the airport itself. At the airport train station, the passenger switches to a people mover or other train that goes to the airport terminals. The same system can also serve passengers moving between different terminals and travelling between the terminals and car rental lots or parking areas.
