Lufthansa

Due to closures of the railway system that operates between Terminal 2 and the satellite building at Munich’s airport, Lufthansa is recommending that travelers arrive to the airport early. Alternate bus service will be used to transport travelers from noon on Mondays to noon on Thursdays during the railway closures. Lufthansa says that the bus service will add an extra 20 minutes to the time needed for passengers to reach the K and L gate areas in the satellite building from Terminal 2. Passengers should look for signposts indicating the locations of the bus stops.
