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 and PTS hours, then add your own buffer.
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 train-only. Hall F is not an airside shortcut.
Post-security options are solid but pricier; 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.
Star Gold uses Senator/Business in the same building and Schengen layer as the gate.
Official pins: G21 (T2 Schengen), H21 (T2 non-Schengen), K11 (satellite Schengen), L11 (satellite non-Schengen). Senator is listed near G24/H24.
