From Munich to the USA

If you ever fly into Munich and are trying to get to the US. Here are a few tips:

1. You will have to take a bus from the airplane to the terminal, so don't rush to get off the plane.

2. There will be no signs and no help to let you know that you will be flying out of the "H" terminals. Your flight will appear on no board and no one will have information on your flight, proceed directly to "H"

3. Proceed DIRECTLY to H terminals, even if you have a three hour lay-over. It took me two hours to get from my connecting flight because you have to go through two additional passport screenings and an additional security screening.

4. If your terminal is less than H15 (H14, H13.....H1) do not follow the signs past the security screening at H15. You MUST go through this security screening to get to all H terminals. If you follow the signs you get all the way to your terminal and will have to turn around and get in the security line. Again, no signs, no help, you just have to know it.

5. After you get to the terminal you have to check in with the agent (not a normal requirement) because they will do a third passport check. KEEP your baggage stickers (I normally toss these) they are required as part of this check. They will ask you a series of questions about your bags and then put a special sticker on your passport. You cannot board without the sticker on your passport.

6. Avoid Munich if you can.
