Our focus turns once again to the Munich Airport, for several reasons – all of them good. For starters, Franz Joseph Strauss airport was named best airport in Europe, and fourth best overall in the world, according to a survey of more than 10 million passengers by the London Aviation Research Institute. Munich edged out Zurich, last year’s winner, and now ranks below only Singapore, Seoul, and Hong Kong. I can’t argue here, having been to all of the airports mentioned, and nearly all in Europe. Munich’s Terminal 2 is one of the cleanest, most efficient, and convenient of places, and Terminal 1 is segmented to feel like you are flying out of a tiny airport. Well, the situation only gets better as the Bavarian government just approved a plan for a second S-bahn tunnel for an express train that will reach the center of Munich in 20 minutes. We are reminded this coming weekend that it can’t come soon enough – with the airport expecting 1.5M passengers over the Easter weekend – with 17,000 takeoffs and landings.
