Named by Skytrax Europe’s best airport for 10 of the last 12 years, Franz Josef Strauss is also a gateway for passengers connecting to destinations in the Middle East, Africa, India, South East Asia, China and Japan. With one gleaming terminal, connection times are greatly reduced, and the airport offers state of the art facilities, free Wifi, a Visitors Park with mini-golf, and even an on-site brewery – Airbräu. The airport is linked to Munich’s city centre with frequent train service.
The Munich bound flight will depart Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays, returning from the Bavarian capital Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays.
In a city where old and modern meld with elegance and amiability-what Bavarians call gemütlichkeit, Munich is also an ideal hub for touring the Tyrolean Alps, Italian Dolomites, and resort towns such a Mittenwald, Innsbrück and Garmisch-Partenkirchen. Munich airport also offers frequent connections to destinations throughout Germany, as well as to all major cities in Europe and Eastern Europe, Scandinavia, Russia and popular vacation hotspots in the Mediterranean.
Tradition meets Münchener Modern
Even though Munich is famous for its annual Oktoberfest, when millions grab a bench under the bright lights of beer tents and flock to the city’s most famous tavern, Hofbräuhaus, Bavaria’s reputation is synonymous with big business, from the automotive industry, with the emblematic BMW tower and museum, to banking and insurance. It is also home to sporting champions FC Bayern München, and a visit to the 75,000-seat Allianz Arena, where the football club is based, is a must.
High-end technology and innovation thrive with a younger culture in Munich, and the city is known for its burgeoning music scene and night life. This younger generation also enjoys surfing the waves of the city’s main waterway, Isar River, and exploring the trails of the Englisher Garten where, at the heart of the park, under the Chinesischer Turm (Chinese Tower), brass bands entertain with knee-slapping rhythms.
Whether planning on visiting in summer, when Bavarians enjoy the outdoors and picnics on the grounds of the eccentric palaces built by “Mad King Ludwig,” or the Christmas season with outdoors markets selling mulled wine, wood carvings and pretzels, Munich is an energetic metropolis that, as of November 2018, is yours to enjoy. Take a seat in a state-of-the art Boeing 787-900 Dreamliner, with hours of free entertainment across the Atlantic, exceptional inflight service and meals, and your dream of visiting Germany will come true.
