My wife and I are booked in Premium Economy (hoping for Business upgrade) on SQ25 in May of 2019 and our final destination is MUN. We're non EU citizens. Originally, I was planning on renting a car and driving, but now I'm having second thoughts and considering booking a separate ticket on Lufthansa from FRA to MUN. From my searches here, it appears that SQ will interline our bags if necessary, but I'm wondering about a safe amount of time to allow for the connection? With SQ scheduled to arrive at 10:40, there are flights at 12:15, 13:15 (much higher cost), and 15:15. I know I wouldn't have protection, but if SQ25 arrives on time, would I have enough time to make the 12:15 flight? Thanks and apologies if this has been covered previously, but I couldn't find it via search.

You might check out Rail & Fly, which would be an open ICE Rail ticket from FRA-MUC for about EUR50. Once you arrive at FRA, you make your way to the long distance train station and take one of the hourly services to Munich. 3-4 hour trip but you will arrive right in the center of town. First class is not much more and seating tends to be more available if you don't have a seat reservation.

Yep, that may well be much cheaper and even faster option... Particularly if one is heading to center of Munich.

Take the train, super convenient and probably cheaper than a flight. If you do buy a separate flight, I would leave at least 3 hours if you've never transferred in FRA before. Even as a German-speaker who has been there many times, I still find it confusing. Chose 1515 to leave enough time.

Thanks everyone. I'm going to think on it a bit more, but will probably end up taking the train, then pick up my rental car when I leave Munich to head to Garmisch. I'll just return the car to FRA when I head back to the US.
