Munich, Germany · Europe
Star Alliance hub with CT lanes (2 L liquids stay in the bag), a T1 Pier for non-Schengen, and S-Bahn about 40 min to Hauptbahnhof.

Most important tips
A compact traveler cheat sheet for timing, terminals, food, and disruption checks.
No official MCT. Shuttle 06:00–23:00; PTS 04:00–24:00.
Munich Airport does not publish a minimum connection time or walk-minute matrix. Use the published shuttle (06:00–23:00) and PTS (04:00–24:00) hours, then add your own buffer. No published T1–T2 shuttle 23:00–06:00.
T1–T2 airside shuttle ride 5–7 min (06:00–23:00). PTS about 1 min.
T1 Pier is all T1 non-Schengen since 21 April 2026. T2 satellite is PTS-train only. Hall F is landside/public, not an airside shortcut.
Post-security food is solid but pricey; beer gardens and bakeries stand out.
T1 has more independent food; T2 is the Lufthansa lounge cluster. Confirm the lounge against your gate, not Terminal 2 as a whole. Airside prices are standard European airport prices; no verified bottle price is published here.
First Class doors: G21, H21, K11, L11.
Official pins: G21 (T2 Schengen, Level 04), H21 (T2 non-Schengen, Level 05), K11 (satellite Schengen), L11 (satellite non-Schengen). Satellite roof terrace is closed in winter. Match the room to your gate building and Schengen layer.
