Even though not my first photo taken upon entering Terminal 2 (which LH and Star Alliance uses) the departure board shows in a drastic way how much (or rather how little) in terms of flights was still going in MUC. These were ALL remaining flights on that Friday for the whole of MUC airport.


As LH had shifted all remains long-haul flights and all remaining European flights to FRA this only left a handful of domestic flights. HAM, TXL and DUS were served twice daily. FRA as far as I remember three times. Eurowings also serves Cologne/Bonn. The airport in Stuttgart was closed. The flight to Doha shown on the board was the last remaining long-haul flight departing MUC. I don't quite get why MUC wasn't consolidating operations into a single Terminal.

Apart from airport staff, security, federal police and a small handful of passengers I only saw a few guys with their photo equipment using the opportunity to take pictures inside what felt like a ghost terminal.


LH had two checkin counters open. One would have done the job easily. Business and First-class-Checkin were closed. All shops and eating places were closed as well.

There was a single lane at the security check. People had to keep their distance (and did so quite effectively). Security staff reminded people to really take out everything from their clothing in oder to avoid additional manual checks. That worked so so.


There was a sign in front of security that there would be no possibility to purchase anything airside. And they kept their word....


Lounges were of course also closed. In fron of the LH First-Class lounge there was still an outdated announcement from the time when limited openings were possible. But the sign in fron of the SEN Cafe was very clear.


Otherwise plenty of space and nobody around


Outside not so much space as MUC - like other airports - was turned into a parking lot.


The flight to Hamburg left from Gates G81 and G82 respectively. These are located downstairs and don't have a jet bridge. People kept their distance to each other in the waiting area at the gates but only minority was wearing masks. As the uses of buses is strongly discouraged PAX walked to the plane.


LH served the HAM and TXL routes with CRJ900 so you also see a bulk of the active LH domestic fleet in this pic.


I probably waited for around 10-15 minutes and then it was time to board.
