Question 1

Can I walk from Terminal 2 to the satellite?

Accepted Answer

No. Gates G and H are in the Terminal 2 main building, while J, K and L are in the satellite. The underground shuttle train is mandatory and the ride takes about one minute. Official pages disagree on its interval, so check the signs rather than planning around a fixed frequency.

Question 2

Should I take S1 or S8 into Munich?

Accepted Answer

Choose by corridor: S1 circles through the west and Moosach; S8 crosses the east through Ostbahnhof and Marienplatz. Both also reach München Hauptbahnhof, for which the airport publishes about 40 minutes. They alternate for a combined 10-minute interval.

Question 3

Where is the airport S-Bahn station?

Accepted Answer

Flughafen München station is below the Munich Airport Center (MAC), at level 02. Accessible lifts and escalators rise to the MAC ground floor: Terminal 1 is directly accessible from there, and Terminal 2 is reached through the MAC Forum.

Question 4

How do I transfer between Terminal 1 and Terminal 2?

Accepted Answer

For a flight connection, follow the signs to the free inter-terminal shuttle bus; the airport gives a ride time of 5–7 minutes. The MAC sits between the terminals landside, but a connecting itinerary may require additional checks, so follow your gate signs.

Question 5

What do T1A–T1E, T1Z and T2 mean on check-in information?

Accepted Answer

T1A through T1E point to the matching Terminal 1 module. T1Z means the check-in counters in the MAC near the S-Bahn entrance. T2 means the central departure hall of Terminal 2.

Question 6

Where is Hall F?

Accepted Answer

Hall F is a separate building between Terminal 1 and Terminal 2. The airport says it can only be reached on foot through the public area; connecting passengers should first follow signs for Exit/Hall F.
