I don't know, 'Wanna be There' if you work at MAN, but this is the attitude that drives me to despair of MAN. Typical MAN take or shove it response. No idea at all of customer service. Perhaps, from...

The border control posts at MUC are sited in banks at sites all around the terminal, and I'd be surprised if only 3 were open in the whole terminal building - whichever it happened to be. However,...

I agree, T1 outbound is pretty good, arriving is awful. This is one of the reasons scheduled carriers still at T2 are refusing to move over to T1.

I've looked at SIA for transit to OZ and other parts of Asia. I can't see any point in using them, they have always quoted more than EK, and I have to mess about at MUC.
