Flights from Munich to Frankfurt am Main: the best tips from KAYAK users' own experiences

Insights shared by verified travellers who flew the route from Munich to Frankfurt am Main 
Dora LeighFlew with United Airlines-Jun 2026
Make sure to give yourself enough time to make your connection
Verified travelerFlew with Lufthansa-Feb 2025
Any lay over times under 1,5 hours are very risky. Frankfurt is a large airport and requires lost of time for security and passport controls. Also, very short lay over times do not guarantee that your luggage will make it onto your connecting flight.
GaryFlew with Lufthansa-Oct 2024
Try to ensure plenty of time if you are flying on from Frankfurt. Our flight from Munich was delayed and when we landed we had a 26 minute run/walk to our connecting flight. We also had to go thru security again and it was painfully slow in Frankfurt. I literally sprinted to my flight as they were preparing to close the door and had them hold it for my wife and two others who were traveling on this flight.
