Due to a new initiative, Munich Airport-bound passengers can quickly and easily transform vacuous transit time into a satisfying and culturally enriching experience. munich-airport.com/viaMUC - The new “Waiting and Connecting” Web link features an online Stopover Guide detailing an impressive variety of stopover options at MUC. The link explains why MUC offers an unbeatable minimum connecting time of 30 minutes, and presents stopover options for travelers with time –from one hour to a full day - to spare. Moreover, exclusive hints and tips guide the discerning passenger through an unforgettable shopping experience at Munich Airport and point out culinary highlights such as the world's first airport brewery, Airbrau.

A hard-copy version of this "Stopover Guide" can be picked up near the arrival gates and at the airport's information counters. Vouchers for discounts on city tours, perks at Europe’s largest spa, free scoops of ice cream, along with maps, directions, estimated travel times, and contact links make it easy for the traveler to tailor the transit experience to his or her needs and interests. The initiative is driven by Munich Airport’s “we try harder” determination. As a result Munich Airport has been voted fifth best airport worldwide and third best international transit airport in 2009.
