The first thing you notice about Munich airport is that it is far too large and grandiose for a city the size of Munich, which means that it's mostly empty. The second thing you notice is that away from the Lufthansa areas, there's nowhere to eat except Burger King. Thanks for thinking about people who fly airlines other than your crappy national carrier, guys! The final thing you notice is that, rather cleverly, the airport was built in a slight depression in the ground in the middle of nowhere. This means that a) it takes 45 minutes and 50 euros to drive to the city center by taxi, and b) in the winter, fog gets trapped over the airport, causing massive flight delays. Nice one.

Munich's airport, Franz Josef Strauss is 18 miles (29 kilometres) north-east of the city centre.
Buses and trains operate between the city and the airport. Taxis are also available; expect to pay more than 50EUR to reach the city center.

Europe's most modern airport and the headquarters of Lufthansa!
The new Terminal was opened in June 2003. It is a real shopping mall now as well, with over 100 shops.
This is now the most modern airport in Europe and almost as big as the one Frankfurt.

Franz Josef Strauss airport is about 30 km from Munich. To get there you can take the S-Bahn. In the main lobby look for a sing, an "S" inside a green circle. You have to go down a floor below to buy the ticket (8 Euros). The access to the platform is right in front from the place you buy the ticket. To get to Munich take the S1 or the S8. It will take about 40 minutes there

From the UK EasyJet fly from Stansted and are probably the cheapest. BMI, Lufthansa and BA all fly there too
Public transport is brilliant! Buy a Day or 3 day ticket, they are valid on u-Bahn and buses. It costs a little extra to get from the airport (Line S8).
Here is a photo on the U Bahn with our 'guide' to the Olympic Stadium, top man!

Munich has one of Germany's largest airports.
Built in 1992, the new Munich airport 'Franz Joseph Strauß' is also extremely modern and clean.
Located about 30 minutes from the city center, can be reached by S-Bahn.

We came to Munich by plane and landed in the airport "Franz-Josef-Strauss-Flughafen", which lies some 30 km north of the city. It's linked to the city by S-Bahn #1 and #8 and by buses operated by the Lufthansa airline.
We took a taxi to the hotel and had to pay about 50 EUR!

I flew from London to Munich with Lufthansa German Airlines. The return tickets cost my about 110 GBP.
Comparing to some budget airlines I used to go with, Lufthansa served much better food on the flight although the overall journey was less than 2 hours.

We arrived to Munich by Airplane. We spent 17 days in Europe and used Munich as our central starting point. Alot of these European cities are only a several hour drive from each other, so if your planning on visiting several different cities look for the best airfare and let that determine were your starting city will be.
We rented a car and enjoyed driving thru the Austria, Switzerland and Germany countryside for about a week. This is the best way to travel when visting these counties. After our tour of the Alps we arrived back in Munich to take a sleeper train to Prague, Czech Republic, this is the way to go.
