'Du hast die Wahl' in Munich

Where: Munich, Germany
March 10, 2009 at 2:48 PM | by egw | 1 Comment

On a layover at the Munich airport, you have a lot of choices. For example, you can sup on pasta at Piazza Monaco or drink your dinner in Airbräu beer. And when it comes to Internet access, you can drive your own vehicle on the information superhighway or arrange to borrow someone else's.

The "Internet point" in the Munich Airport Center at Franz Josef Strauss Airport advertises fast broadband connections on airport computers for €5 an hour. (If you only want to use Microsoft Office, it's €4 an hour -- what are you, a Luddite?) Elsewhere, use your T-Mobile account to pick up WiFi (we got it in Terminal 1).

Choosing to connect somewhere else? Tell us which international airport to choose next. (And don't hesitate to correct our German.)

Experience Real-Life "Top Gun" Beach Volleyball Scene at Munich Airport

Where: Munich, Germany
July 16, 2008 at 11:30 AM | by pbb | 0 Comments

If we weren't the ones running our Airport Layover Contest, we'd definitely enter this idea: "Airport Beach" at Munich Airport.

Starting August 1, pros and amateurs alike will set, spike and dig between Terminals 1 and 2 at the Munich Airport Center. August 10 is family day, and the German women's volleyball league champs--the Vilsbiburg Red Ravens, didn't you know?--will be on-hand to give pointers on the game. The fun wraps up August 15-17 with the 16-team Bavarian beach volleyball championship.

Admission to everything is free; if you're already in Munich, you get up to five hours of free airport parking if you're going to the games.
