Self-transfer guide · MUC

Plan baggage collection, check-in and the route between separate flights.

Separate tickets: check the actual route

Separate tickets: collect and recheck bags unless checked through. Allow for controls, terminal travel and your next airline’s bag-drop deadline. Missed connections may be unprotected.

Confirm bags and boarding passes

Ask each airline whether bags are checked through and where the next boarding pass is issued. Have the bag-drop, check-in and boarding deadlines for your onward flight.

Allow for the full route

Include arrival delays, border control, baggage reclaim, terminal travel, bag drop and security. This guide does not calculate a safe connection time or promise missed-flight protection; check your booking terms.

Visa & entry

Passport control applies when crossing between Schengen and non-Schengen. Some nationalities need a visa even for airside transit. A public-area hotel or Hall F route requires permission to enter Schengen.
