Munich Airport

I lived in Germany for a few years and traveled to and from Berlin to Munich and Frankfurt. Munich Airport is a very clean and pleasant airport to travel through. What I particularly liked was the fact that on arrival I did not have to remove my luggage from the trolley in order to get into the train. The trolleys at Munich unlike other airports can be taken up and down the escalators without any fuss. Normally when I travel international I have big bags and need help getting up and down, I try to use the lifts but not in Munich.

I traveled in 1999 from Berlin to meet my boyfriend Peter in Munich aboard a Lufthansa flight, on arrival I noticed for the first time how quiet the airport was even though people were moving around, it is because of the spacious nature of the airport. Everything from shops to restaurants and cafes are well located to create more space. The light grey colour scheme gives a cool feeling in the airport. Even though I was already in Germany the fact that I carried a foreign passport meant I had to go through passport control. I noticed the passport control and security checks were very organized and very fast, it literally tool me 15 minutes to go through even though about 5 planes had landed at the same time as mine. The staff very professional, polite and friendly. I would love to be in Munich if I had a layover of more than 5 hours. Beautiful airport indeed.
