quickFacts:
  - >-
    Compact dual-label terminal complex (Terminal 1 arrivals / Terminal 2
    check-in) in Greven, ~25 km north of Münster and ~35 km southwest of
    Osnabrück; A1 exit “Flughafen Münster/Osnabrück”
  - >-
    1,253,780 passengers in 2025 (−2% vs record 2024; official FMO figures)
    despite Lufthansa Frankfurt ending with winter 2024/25; +26% vs 2019;

    Münster Hbf; WestfalenTarif EinzelTicket €9.50 adult / €5.10 child (queried
    Aug 2026)
  - >-

    Classic EU 100 ml liquid rules — CT cabin scanners are tendered but not
    expected in service before 2027 (Bezirksregierung Münster)
  - >-
    Top 2025 routes: Antalya (~398k), Palma (~339k), Munich (~233k); SunExpress,
    Lufthansa, and Ryanair each ~20% of passengers; hub feed is Munich only
bentoTips:
  - label: Transport
    title: Take S50 from Münster Hbf — no airport train
    detail: >-
      Official airport guidance lists RVM S50 (express) and R51 from Münster
      Hauptbahnhof as the regular public links; there is no station under the
      terminal. Westfalenfahrplan shows a direct S50 Münster Hbf → Greven
      Flughafen in about 33 minutes; R51 is a direct but slower ~50-minute
      option. WestfalenTarif EinzelTicket is €9.50 adult / €5.10 child on this
      relation (Aug 2026 query). Deutschlandticket covers the bus. The former
      Osnabrück express (X150/X15/X52) is discontinued — from Osnabrück, rail to
      Münster (or Ibbenbüren) then S50, or a taxi/prebooked transfer.
    summary: ~33 min S50 from Münster Hbf; WestfalenTarif EinzelTicket €9.50.

  - label: Security
    title: Pack the classic 100 ml bag — CT is years away
    detail: >-
      FMO Security Services runs passenger and cabin-bag screening under
      Bezirksregierung supervision. Standard EU liquids still apply: ≤100 ml
      containers in one transparent 1 L bag, electronics out. The authority has
      started procurement of CT hand-baggage scanners, but local reporting
      (Antenne Münster / Bezirksregierung, Aug 2025) puts entry into service no
      earlier than 2027 — do not assume a liquids waiver. Airport and local
      press recommend arriving ~2.5 hours before departure; check-in desks open
      2.5 hours before each flight. Non-EU destinations (Antalya, Pristina,
      London) can add Entry/Exit System border-control time.
    summary: No CT liquids waiver yet — plan the old unpack ritual through 2027.

  - label: Lounge
    title: 'The Lounge closes at 21:00 — walk-in is €26'
    detail: >-
      Airside opposite Gate C13 (~200 m², Global Lounge Network). Free for
      Lufthansa HON/Senator/Star Alliance Gold plus First/Business, Condor and
      Marabu Business (per FMO DE lounge page), Priority Pass, LoungeKey, Lounge
      Pass, and Diners Club. Walk-in €26 at the desk; Priority Pass max stay 4
      hours, one child under 12 free per cardholder. Snacks, soft drinks,
      beer/wine/spirits, work desks, free FMO Wi-Fi. Late Antalya/leisure banks
      after 21:00 miss it — and airside shops only open from ~2 hours before
      each departure.
    summary: 'Sole airside quiet space; €26 walk-in; shut by 21:00.'
    category: status
  - label: Food
    title: Buy water at Café Jetlag before security
    detail: >-
      Independent German airport water surveys list FMO with no free passenger
      drinking fountains. Landside Café Jetlag sits in Terminal 2 by the
      check-in counters (public area) — buy bottles there before screening.
      Airside, smartseller’s “you are here” / Your Kitchen (duty-free + snacks,
      warm/cold drinks) opens from about 2 hours before each departure opposite
      the gates; prices are higher once you are through.
    summary: No free refill stations; stock up landside at Café Jetlag.
