Terminal 1 or Terminal 2 at Munich Airport: Where Will I Be Picked Up?

Munich Airport has two passenger terminals and a separate terminal for private flights. If you book a chauffeur, you only need to remember one thing: your flight number. It determines the terminal – and therefore the meeting point.

Which terminal does my flight use?

Lufthansa and its Star Alliance partners usually operate from Terminal 2. Most other airlines – such as Condor, Eurowings Discover, British Airways, Air France/KLM or Emirates – use Terminal 1. The information on your boarding pass or on the airport website is always binding. Your chauffeur checks the terminal before the pickup using your flight number anyway.

Meeting point Terminal 1

Terminal 1 is divided into modules A to E. Each module has its own baggage claim and its own exit. Your chauffeur will wait for you directly at the exit after the baggage claim of your module – with a name sign if you chose a sign pickup.

Meeting point Terminal 2

In Terminal 2, all passengers arrive in the central arrivals area on level 03. The meeting point is directly behind the security area, where arriving passengers enter the public hall. That is where the chauffeurs stand with their signs.

General Aviation Terminal (GAT)

Private and charter flights follow a different logic: at the GAT, the chauffeur drives right up to the terminal. Handover and luggage take just a few minutes, and there is no walk.

Sign pickup or “I’m here”?

When booking, you choose between two options:

• Sign pickup: the chauffeur waits at the meeting point with your name on a sign. Recommended for first visits, for guests you are having picked up and when you have lots of luggage.
• I’m here: you receive the chauffeur’s contact details and call or message as soon as you head for the exit. Handy if you know the airport and only have hand luggage.

What happens if my flight is delayed?

Your chauffeur tracks the flight using the flight number. If the plane lands later, the pickup is moved automatically. From the booked pickup time, 60 minutes of waiting time are included – enough buffer for passport control and luggage.

Checklist for a smooth pickup

• Enter your flight number when booking
• Pickup time = landing time plus buffer (at least 30 minutes with checked luggage)
• Provide a mobile number that can be reached abroad
• For connecting flights, enter the number of your last flight
