Lufthansa Airport Bus - Munich Airport to Central Station
Hey guys,
I will be arriving at MUC quite heavily loaded. Approximately 2 large bags, a trolley, laptopbag and a suit. This is why I am looking at alternative ways of reaching the city centre, seeing as dragging all of this onto the S-Bahn isn't really ideal.
A taxi ride is in all honesty too expensive, which is how I've stumbled on the Lufthansa Airport Bus. Does anyone have any experience with this way of transportation? Are they overly cramped with people fighting to get on, or how does this work? In particular with regards to the luggage that I will be hauling.
Thanks in advance

I usually take a DriveNow car from P20 level 1 into town. Costs me 12EUR+35-40 mins, ie about 20-25€. Best option with luggage. Alternatively use MyDriver, they cost about 40-50€ into town, they always have rebate codes too.

I'm curious now, Oliver, what's a DriveNow car? Until now I have only ever been a victim - sorry, customer- of the overpriced and somewhat inefficient S8. Interestingly, this line is "free" in conjunction with an onward rail ticket, ie it tends to price out as the same as a ticket which starts, or ends, Munich main station.
During the weekend, I managed to get a ticket from Sierre (canton Valais, Switzerland) to Munich Airport for EUR14.25, allowing me stops in Montreux, Zurich and Munich itself, bearing in mind international rail tickets are valid for 2 weeks.
