LHR-MUC on CE questions
hi there, I've a few questions on the round trip LHR-MUC,
1) If I think of taking 1525 ex-LHR flight and 1910 ex-MUC flight, what to expect on meals? And any general guideline on food provided on these kind of shorthaul flights departing at different times during a day?
2) For the ex-MUC routing, I'll take another BA flight to HKG after I arrived LHR, and there are 2 hours between them. Is that possible to (sort of) merge the 2 bookings (or by some other solutions) so that I can do transit rather than going out of the landside, check-in, and go back to the airside?
Thanks in advance

I can help with your first question.
On the outpound flight expect a very small selection of sandwiches and a pot desert. On the return you will have the pleasure of a small salad. Nothing at all to get excited about. If you need to eat a real meal do so landside at MUC as the food airside is dire.
You will not get access to the club lounge at MUC as this is based on status and not class flown. Don't worry to much about this as the Delta club gets very busy and loud filled with many DYKWIA shouting into their phones.

If both of your bookings are on BA then you should get through checked-in in Munich. In any way, even if you held two separate bookings on two airlines you would still not have to go landside - there is a flight connection centre in Heathrow where you can check-in for your next flight (provided that you baggae is through checked-in).

Not quite correct I am afraid becasue if you did have 2 seperate bookings on 2 airlines BA would not tag your bags to the final destination so you would have to collect baggage.

I was on BA957 (2115) connecting CX250 (1820) (overnight transit) one month ago. The ticket was issued under CX. I rejected their offer to check in my bag all the way to HKG and accepted the BP for next day's CX250.
The DL lounge requires OneWorld status to enter. No hot food and sandwiches inside,but only some chocolates cakes and wines were available. The dirty washroom is located outside the lounge.
Personally I would perfer walking in LH's terminal first and check-in at last min in BA's terminal.

Am I missing something here, but what has Delta to do with this OP?
As you are only OneWorld Ruby you only have Lounge facilities if flying Business Class or higher. So LHR-MUC as you are flying CE you can use the BA Business Lounge and for MUC-LHR BA have a shared Lounge for CE Passengers.
Finally it helps in replies if you advise in the OP what airline and class you are travelling on each sector.

There is no BA lounge at MUC but the Delta Airlines Crown Lounge can be used because of an agreement with Malev. I was there last night enjoying my BiFi. Not sure what status you need to be to be let in but gold worked for me. If you are getting one of the later BA flights out the lounge is normally deserted.

I think the lunchtime flight gets one of the (quite crap imo) salads too.
Better to save the calories for a currywurst and beer at the restaurant in the terminal...or if you have longer visit the open air beer garden between T1 and T2. ^

There is somewhere worth eating airside in MUC, sadly it's in the Luftwaffe terminal.
CE meals to/from MUC are undistinguished (and just as bad to/from LIS these days).

Silvers and Golds get access to the Delta Crown Room, it's dire. Ordinary CE passengers (of which I am now one), get €8 credit for the cafés etc.
