Domestic Flights to Munich Airport
Cheap Tickets and Low Airfares from German Cities to München (MUC)
Jan 16, 2008
Munich Airport with around 31 million annual passengers is a distant second in Germany to Frankfurt International Airport with over 52 million. However, Frankfurt’s location in central Germany allows many travelers to use trains to their final destinations. Munich in the far south sees more passengers on German domestic flights (9.4 million passengers vs. Frankfurt’s 6.8 million in 2006). The routes to Hamburg, Berlin, and Düsseldorf are particularly busy.
- Lufthansa (and Star Alliance partners) flies from Terminal 2 at Munich Airport. All other airlines fly from Terminal 1.
Domestic Flights on Lufthansa from Munich (MUC) to other German Airports
German airline Lufthansa, the second largest in Europe after Air France-KLM, uses Munich Airport as a major secondary hub, especially for European destinations. As a result, Lufthansa offer connecting flights from Munich to a huge number of German airports. Few would use short-distance flights from for example Nürnberg or Stuttgart to travel to Munich but these domestic flights do make sense for passengers connecting at Munich Airport to long-distance flights.
Lufthansa’s domestic destinations from Munich Airport (MUC) include Berlin-Tegel (TXL), Bremen (BRE), Cologne/Bonn (Köln CGN), Düsseldorf (DUS), Frankfurt (FRA), Hamburg (HAM), Hanover (HAJ), and Münster/Osnabrück (FMO).

Cheap German Flights from Munich Airport (MUC) on Low-Cost Airline Condor (DE)
Low-cost airline Condor flies from Munich Airport to Berlin-Schönefeld (SXF), Bremen, Cologne-Bonn (CGN), Düsseldorf, Frankfurt, Hamburg, Hanover, and Leipzig. However, these flights are mostly to connect to Condor’s longer distance holiday flights and too infrequent to offer real competition to the other airlines operating in these routes.

Cheap flights on low-cost airlines as well as intercontinental flights contribute to the popularity of MUC.
