Munich Airport is the second busiest airport in Germany in terms of passenger traffic, with plenty of shopping and eating options, and yet with a fairly straightforward layout. There are two terminals connected by a large open space called the 'Munich Airport Center'. 

• Terminal 1 houses Gates A-E and the central area Z which has restaurants, shopping and car rental. It's not easy to walk from A to E gates after security, so it's better to check in at your designated gate.
• Terminal 2 is Lufthansa's flagship terminal and serves Star Alliance airlines. You'll find Gates G and H here. You can walk freely between gates G and H after check-in.
• Terminal 2 Satellite is a separate building that offers both Schengen- and Non-Schengen-flights and is mainly used for transit connections. It's connected to Terminal 2 via an underground train. The distance is only 400m. Gates K and L are located here.

If you‘ve accumulated over 7,500 miles on your Miles & More card, you can spend them at the eurotrade Travel Value & Duty Free Shop. Just present your card at the cash desk and 330 miles will get you EUR 1 of shopping.

You can also earn premium miles here. Every euro you spend will earn you one premium mile. Other shops in Terminal 2 where you can shop using mileage are:

• LH WorldShop, level 4
• Dallmayr Shop, level 4
• Hugo Boss/Ermenegildo Zegna level 4
• Gateshop, level 5
• Metropolitan Pharmacy, levels 4 and 5

Terminal 2, after security, levels 4 and 5
