1 hr Munich Layover????
 

is a one hour layover in munich enough? We would be flying in and out of terminal 2 but I dont want to have any problems.... please help! If this is too quick, I wont want to book it.... thanks (oh if it helps we fly in on united out on austrian air)

even though two airlines -- is it one booking or two?? Makes a huge difference. Munich airport is fine but any delay in arrival and/or security and your one hour will be gone.

If both legs are on one booking, they will put you on the next available flight. But if you are booking them separately - then you are on your own and if you miss your flight you'd have to but full fare walk-up tix.

An hour is long enough if your arriving flight is on time.

Usually, passport control is not the confused mess it is in the US and at CDG.

I have arrived several times from the US and the customs/passport agents were next to the baggage claim area. There was not this pellmell race to a central passport booth only to find half of the airport was there ahead of you.

At least that has been my experience.

If you change in the same terminal, you will not have a major security issue.
Passengers boarding flights for travel within Europe have not been screened as tightly as passengers leaving the US, or returning to the US. At least, that has been the case so far.

For example, two years ago we flew Easy Jet to London from Geneve, Switzerland. I do not recall what we did for a security check, that is how little impression it made. I don't recall having to do the shoeless two-step, or the sock hop.

Great! Thanks for the help...I dont think I will book that specific flight. Also, How long should I allow in munich airport if I have to get my luggage and check in to a different airline? This would be a different option.
