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.

Do you have any tips for my flight to Munich?
If you're not prepared, travelling can be testing. But there's no need to worry. Follow these tips and tricks for a comfortable start to your getaway in Munich. What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • It's easy — first, pack in your passport, travel documents, cash and medications. Next, you'll want some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A thrilling novel and a phone crammed with your favourite shows are some terrific options. If you intend to take a quick snooze, a neck pillow and some earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, leave some space for a toothbrush and some deodorant to ensure you arrive at your destination looking fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • While the list of banned items can differ between airlines, the general guide to follow is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes box cutters, razor blades, fireworks and fuel. Sporting equipment like bows and arrows, and objects that could injure passengers, such as guns and swords, aren't allowed in the cabin either.

What to wear on a flight:

  • You'll want to choose comfort over style. Prepare for changes in cabin temperature by donning layers, and opt for easy-to-remove footwear like slip-ons.
  • Caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect passengers during long-distance flights. Reduce the risks by staying hydrated, keeping your lower limbs moving and wearing compression socks to help your circulation.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Munich?
Being organised before your flight will help make your getaway to Munich a breeze. Check out our handy tips and tricks for a speedy journey past security:

  • First things first. Your passport and travel documents will need to be presented to airport security. Keep them someplace accessible so you don't have to dig around for them.
  • The X-ray machine comes next. Empty your pockets and remove anything that is likely to set off the scanner's alarm. This includes items like earphones or headphones, as well as your coat or jacket. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
  • Electronic devices like laptops and phones will also have to go through the machine to be scanned. Don't worry, you'll be back online soon enough.
  • Any gels or liquids, such as lip balm or cologne, that you want to bring on board need to be in containers no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
  • Slip-on shoes are a clever footwear choice as you're less likely to be asked to remove them when passing through security. Hiking boots and heavier-style shoes are often subjected to additional screening.
  • Airlines will not allow any sharp objects to come on board with you. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them safely in your checked luggage.
