Can I make a 1 hour connection at MUC on an international flight?
1 hour clears the 45-minute international minimum connection time at Munich, but you should still head directly to your gate. Terminal 2 and its Satellite building are linked by an automated underground people-mover (Skyline) taking about 5 minutes, plus walking time to gates, and passengers moving between Schengen and non-Schengen zones within T2 pass through a passport/security check. Transfers between Terminal 1 and Terminal 2 require a shuttle bus (about 10-15 minutes) followed by full security re-screening, as the terminals are landside-separated.
How much time do I need for a layover at MUC?
We recommend at least 45 minutes for a comfortable connection at Munich. This gives you enough buffer for security (typically 15 minutes) and transit between terminals (up to 30 minutes).
What happens if I miss my connection at MUC?
Lufthansa and Star Alliance passengers should go to the transfer service desks in Terminal 2 (near the Skyline access points) for automatic rebooking onto the next available flight, as Munich's hub operation is well set up to handle misconnects quickly.
