Munich's only Priority Pass lounge — non-Schengen Terminal 1, with showers and runway views.
Airport Lounge World is the most useful pay-membership lounge at Munich, airside in Terminal 1 for non-Schengen and transit passengers — reached by passing security in departure area B and taking the elevator on the left to level 6. It's the single MUC lounge that accepts Priority Pass, and it also welcomes SkyTeam Elite Plus passengers and oneworld Sapphire travellers. The lounge has a contemporary, minimalist design with expansive panoramic windows over the runway, a mix of seating pods, recliners and communal tables, and soft ambient lighting. Amenities are unusually broad for a contract lounge: showers, a hot buffet, a full bar pouring house wine, beer and spirits, Wi-Fi, power outlets, newspapers, a prayer room and a children's area, plus dedicated quiet zones. For travellers without Lufthansa status flying non-Schengen out of Munich, this is the default choice.
