Modules A and D are designed for Schengen traffic, while Modules B and C can also handle non-Schengen traffic.
Module E is only used for arrivals.

, which is located between Terminals 1 and 2 north of the Hilton Hotel, also
belongs to Terminal 1 .
The check-ins
for
security-sensitive flights
, for example to Israel,
are located in Hall F in Terminal 1 at Munich Airport .
This is independent of which airline flies.
The check-in area in Hall F is the only one at Munich Airport that has access control.
Terminal 1 at Munich Airport is clearly structured
Terminal 1 mainly handles flights that are not operated by
Lufthansa
and its partner airlines (e.g.
Air France
or

duty-free shops
are located .

restaurants
and access to the

In Terminal 2 of
Munich Airport
, arrivals for passengers arriving from countries that require a visa take place on level 5.
The security checkpoint is on level 6 in the satellite, but on level 5 in the main building. This is due to the fact that level 6 in the
main building
was added later in 2009.
The
visitor terrace is also located on
level 6
of the main building
.
From there, visitors can observe the entire eastern apron with free admission.
The terrace is connected to level 5 by the skywalk.
