I get the impression that you **might be able** to visit the Satellite if you wanted to lounge hop but I have not tried this and so caution you to check carefully for yourself

My arrival

Docked on the L gates
Spotted Senator and Business lounge opposite gate L11
Possibility to clear passport and – strangely – customs in the Satellite which I did therefore I was effectively Schengen cleared and able to access the K and / or G gates
Then walked down lots of escalators to the train which provided a fast transfer to the main part of T2.
Disembark the train and turn left for exit or right for the G and H gates
Travelators take you into the main part of T2 (up yet more escalators) and you appear opposite baggage belt 16
You still have to clear customs in the main part of T2, therefore I don’t understand why they have customs in the satellite

Thanks! Catch a glimpse of the "Marketplace" out in satellite?

The customs clearance in the satellite is for transfer passengers. When you enter the EU at MUC with an onward flight (e.g. to BER) you clear customs for handluggage at MUC and customs for you checked luggage at the final destination (e.g. BER).

Thanks for the informative post! Out of interest, if your final destination is Munich are you directed to go through passport control in the satellite terminal, or did you just decide to do this? Did you follow the signs for exit/baggage?

There were quite a few shops open, I confess that I didn't see one called "Marketplace"

Munich was my final destination and I followed signs for "Exit" from when I entered the L concourse -- HOWEVER I did have the impression from the signage that I **could** have remained as a non Schengen passenger; taken the segregated part of the train to the H gates; cleared passport control in H as "normal" (at least "normal" from a few weeks ago).

Another two points I forgot to mention which may help:

(1) even though I cleared passport control in the satellite, I could have entered into the G gates (and then obviously go up to H and "re-enter" the non Schengen zone

(2) the train was quite fast and driverless, reminded me of the trains underneath T5 at Heathrow. Unfortunately it wasn't anything like the "moo moo" train which connects the A and E gates at Zurich

Question is whether new facilities are worth checking out, and if that's easily accomplished? If so, I can lengthen my connection. I've been to the FCT at FRA several times, so I don't need to extend my time there if MUC is more interesting. Oh, I'm flying F.

Again, sorry for the newbie question. I hope to return the favour at a later date.

Best, Jamie

I guess it depends on personal preference -- if it was me, I probably would not change my travel plans.

Have a good trip !!

If you are lucky your MUC-PEK leaves from the satellite anyway..
but still its worth to go over from T2 into the new F or Senator lounge in the satellite. F is on the top floor with a sky terrrace and views towards the airfield and the Alps..

Should not be a problem.
AND:
The SAT is not only for longhaul flights, some intra-EU flights do also depart from the SAT.

The PTS takes just less than a minute from T2 to T2-SAT and back.
The PTS has different compartments for Schengen/Non-Schengen and you can enter the SAT F lounge in Schengen and leave to Non-Schengen and vv. like the FCL G.

I.e today two flights to Paris are scheduled at gates K.

Unfortunately I decided to change FRAMUCPEK to the FRAPEK nonstop. I hope I made the right decision. The MUCPEK is only booked to 1 in First so far now that I moved off. But I wanted to experience the A388 to see how it compares to the 748i.

I hope I haven't made a mistake. Photos look great, thanks for posting.

Is the rule no car from FCL if departing from gate position still valid?
If arriving in F to I gate in satellite terminal I can access new FCL in satellite.
Does the new FCL in satellite also offer immigration clearance?
Will I have to take the train to G gate myself? Any security check point after FCL before reaching G gates?
