Munich Flights

A city that blends old-world charm with modern delights, Munich is a destination that is ready and happy to please all of its visitors. Though it is best known for such events as Oktoberfest and Tollwood, this location has so much more to offer, like chic cafes, restaurants, and shops on Schwabing, an exciting nightlife on Haidhausen, and stately gardens at Nymphenburg.
As tourists travel to this destination year round, finding cheap flights to Munich is usually an easy task.

Best time to go to Munich

Peak Season:

Inexpensive flights to Munich can be difficult to find from June to October, and December through January, as these months buzz with activity. If you do manage to find cheap flights and accommodation, these periods are excellent for taking part in such events as the Munich International Short Film Festival in June and the Christopher Street Day in July, the Munich Marathon in October and the Christmas Markets in December.

Shoulder Season:

From March through May, Munich sees beautiful weather and a lull in tourism. Those who want to visit during this season will be delighted to find that flights are inexpensive, and the warm weather makes strolling the Englischer Garten, having a quick drink in the Hirschgarten, and window shopping along the Hohenzollernstrasse a real treat.

Off Season:

The cold weather from November through February makes the off season a great time to take part in some of the numerous indoor activities, such as German language classes at the Goethe Institut, seeing a performance at the Volkstheater, or wandering through the vast Pinakotheken museums.

How to survive the flight to Munich?
No matter where you’re coming from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you’re well organised. Take a peek at these handy travel tips that will get your Munich holiday started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • The trick to having a stress-free flight experience is to be prepared. So, let’s start with the essentials: passport, travel docs, credit cards and important medications. Next, bring on board items that’ll help pass the time, like some electronic devices or a good read. It’s also a wise idea to pack your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. And of course, be sure to toss in toiletries like a toothbrush, lip balm and a fresh change of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • While the list of restricted items can differ between airlines, the general rule of thumb is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes box cutters, razor blades, fuel and fireworks. Sporting equipment like baseball bats, and items that could injure passengers, such as firearms and ammunition, are also banned from the cabin.

What to wear on a flight:

  • The answer to a comfortable flight often lies in your clothing choices. Prepare for temperature changes by bringing layers. This will keep you nice and warm if the cabin gets chilly. Shoes like stilettos, flip flops and lace-up boots are best left in your suitcase. Even though they may be your favourites, go for flat, closed-toed footwear like slip-ons. Your feet will appreciate it.
  • A condition known as DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a potential risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clots forming due to poor circulation. Walking up and down the aisle and doing leg and foot exercises while seated is a great way to prevent this happening. Wearing a good pair of compression socks or tights is also recommended.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Munich?
It’s simple — be prepared. We’ve pulled together some tips and tricks for a stress-free trip through airport security. Watch out Munich, here you come:

  • Your boarding pass and passport will need to be presented to airport security personnel. Have them easily accessible so you don’t hold up the line.
  • After that, both you and your carry-on luggage must be X-rayed. To speed things up, take off anything that might trigger the alarms. Personal belongings like your belt, coat and headphones need to go through the machine.
  • All your electronic devices, including your phone and tablet, will also need to be scanned separately.
  • Remove liquids and gels from your carry-on bag. They often need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each item should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a single quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
  • Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several valuable minutes. Boots and heavy shoes are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on shoes are usually not.
  • Airlines won’t allow any sharp objects in your carry-on luggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, pack them safely in your checked luggage.
