AA to LH connection on separate tickets

Hello MUC experts!

Based on my readings of the MCTs involved and the efficiency of the MUC airport, I'm pretty sure this will work, but I would like some confirmation from those who have actually been to MUC, as I have not. This weekend I'm looking to fly on AA from CLT to MUC, arriving, presumably, at T1, then transfer to a LH flight to DBV, presumably from T2. If I'm reading Sabre correctly the MCT for this transfer is 1:00. I'll have 1:50, assuming everything is on time (cue the AA jokes...). The catch is that this would be on two separate tickets (actually, this is AA staff travel, so it's standby on two separate tickets, but that shouldn't be relevant here. Let's assume I'm a well-seasoned non-rev and can handle that aspect). I'll be travelling with my wife and son, who is only 3 but has flown more miles than most adults (not more than most adults on this forum, just more than most adults in general ), on US passports, with no checked luggage. I think that the transit should be no problem whatsoever based on what I've read, but would love to hear the opinion of someone's who knows more than I. Would anyone care to confirm or refute my assessment? Thanks in advance!

Also, any tips for the transit (i.e. shortest immigration lines, etc) would be welcome!

Wow, MUC is very easy within T1 , main to Satellite but T2 to T1 seems very short for me on separate tickets.... and with an infant .... on separate tickets I would always allow 3 hrs minimum

OU4439 is operated by a DH8-400. Turboprop / CRJ flights will not depart from the Satellite terminal, therefore the gate will be H. The inbound flight can either arrive at a G or a K gate.

MUC T1 is much more of a bottleneck than T2. Your flight should arrive in T1's B module. If the flight is pretty full there can be quite some backup at passport control, especially for the non EU passport line. One potential alternative would be to not clear passport control in T1 but take the free non-Schengen shuttle bus to T2 . I don't know if you need a connecting boarding pass to try out this route, but at least it's worth a try. This way could also save you from having to clear security and passport control in T2 again. Not that it is a big deal, but it can still take a couple minutes.

For details regarding the shutte bus operations see:

https://www.munich-airport.com/transit-260553
https://www.munich-airport.com/_b/00...-bus-t1-t2.pdf

The bus leaves from C8, so upon arrival in B follow the transit signs to C and enter the departure area C.

I agree with chris63 that such a T1-T2 connection on separate tickets (even without an infant in tow) is tight. If you chose the landside option you need to factor in a 10 min walk (15-20 min with a kid without using a stroller) from T1B to T2 (including passing passport control twice and security once). Even if it works out there's barely any margin for error.

Great detailed explanation ^

If that were to work for the OP on separate tickets, I suggest the OP starts playing EUROMILLIONS

Judging from what you wrote above you will be arriving in MUC on Saturday morning. These are the [nonstop] flight options on Sat:

LH 1708 MUC 08/06/19 8:20 DBV 08/06/19 9:45 321 J2 C1 D0 Z0 P0 Y2 B0 M0 U0 H0 Q0 V0 W0 S0 T0 L0 K0
LH 1710 MUC 08/06/19 14:30 DBV 08/06/19 15:55 32A J7 C7 D7 Z0 P0 Y9 B9 M9 U9 H0 Q0 V0 W0 S0 T0 L0 K0
EW 1822 MUC 08/06/19 18:35 DBV 08/06/19 20:10 320 I9 Y9 C0 R0 B9 M9 H9 Q9 W3 S0 G0 L0 T0 X0

Are you sure you guys will be able to get on to LH1708 as non-rev standbys give the current load factor? At least there are two more flights to DBV on Sat, plus a couple of connections you can try as a backup. Good luck - please let us know if you managed to make the connection and if you are able to get on LH1708. We will be going to DBV next Monday :-)

Thanks everyone for the replies. I have a few options at the moment and was going to weed them out as we got closer. When I checked two days ago there was much more availability on LH1708 (or maybe I accidentally looked at LH1710). I'd much prefer the earlier flight, so we'll see if I even try MUC or try to fly somewhere else.

Thanks again for the help!

Just FYI... a two week school break starts here in Bavaria tomorrow , so expect the flights from/via MUC to be rather full. Good luck!

As others have suggested, the efficiency of MUC is within either T1 or (especially) T2. Internal *A and LH group travel is very efficient, trans-alliance/trans-terminal connections less so.

1 h 50 min is shorter than what I would risk personally on separate tickets (at least non-refundable), but if there are other flights to your final destination, or you can wait to the next day it might be less of a risk.

Hi sorry if this was asked before but can I go to T2 with a T1 boarding pass? So do they check when you take the bus?
Planning on arriving on LH F in T2 then continue on a separate ticket from T1 (Sun Express), I have a long layover (6 hours) and want to use LH F lounge in the meantime (all arriving F passengers can use it from my understanding). I will just have to go recheck my bag when I land. (Unless I manage to get people at LAX to through check but I don't count on it)

Once you exit after arrival they won’t let you back in with a BP from the other terminal.
SUN EXPRESS are in cooperation with LH so you might be lucky getting your bag through checked.

The FCL Staff will arrange for your bag to be taken care of if you go to one of the FCL’s and use it as an arrival lounge.

LH and XQ have an interline agreement, so LH can check luggage through - if they are willing to do this on separate tickets is another story.

Connecting from LHR to JFK in a few weeks. We will both be in F and Ill be HON by then I hope. Connection is only 45 minutes. Assume I'll be well taken care of if the connection is missed. Seems like I'm on the last LH flight out if MUC so they might route me out of the other guys instead.

If I sense a delay all the way at LHR can I switch over then or would I have to kiss the connecting flight first?

They would definitely rebook you through another hub. If that happens at LHR or MUC depends on a number of factors, but you could definitely request it early on if the LHR-MUC flight is delayed.

Thanks. It's summer time in Europe so hopefully no delays! Although I wouldn't mind extra time in the FCL. Would just be irritated if I had to overnight in MUC.
