Getting Around MUC Airport
MUC Airport features two main passenger terminals, Terminal 1 and Terminal 2, each with distinct layouts and facilities. Terminal 1 is subdivided into five modules (A, B, C, D, and E), with each module functioning almost as a mini-terminal, complete with its own check-in and baggage claim areas. Modules A and D cater to Schengen flights, while B and C handle non-Schengen flights. Terminal 2, on the other hand, operates as a single entity without subdivision and primarily serves Lufthansa and its Star Alliance partners. It's designed around a central plaza that simplifies navigation.
Here are some tips to help you navigate the terminals efficiently:
- Signage: Both terminals are well-signed, guiding you to your necessary areas like gates, baggage claims, and transfers.
- Transportation between terminals: If you need to switch between terminals, the Munich Airport Center (MAC), located between Terminal 1 and Terminal 2, provides easy pedestrian access. This central area also houses additional services like shopping and dining.
- Gate Information: Terminal 1’s gates are spread across its modules, with bus gates primarily located in the central area for remote stands. Terminal 2’s gates are accessible through main departure levels with additional bus gates on the lower level for Schengen flights.
