The Munich (Airport Library) and Communal Napping Park or Harnessing Your Inner Bum

I've written in previous posts about the glory that is Munich airport, especially the Lufthansa terminals.  This post highlights the incredible library (ish)/communal napping park in Terminal H (I think)

Two rows of about 15 sleeping lounge chairs are bathed in soft green light.  Every chair has a normal outlet as well as a USB one.  There's also another section that has about 8 high backed cozy sleeping pods.  In this same section are 4 small private rooms/pods you can rent (30 euros for two hours I think) that has a clean bed and sink in it.

As seen in the first picture below, there's a selection of books (in German and English) that you can borrow while you are at the airport.  The next time I am there I will take more and better photos to show all the great areas.

Bottom line: if you have a choice of airports at which to layover--chose Munich.

I heart Lufthansa: Free coffee in Munich Airport Terminal G

At this point I haven't been to America in more than 1.5 years so maybe there are airlines that do this nowadays in the States but I really can't picture Delta or American airlines offering up free coffee to the plebeian masses--one would have to be safely ensconced in the privileged cocoon of a business class lounge to have the rarified opportunity to quaff free beverages at an airline's expense.

Munich airport is all those things you would expect of Germany--clean and efficient and full of pretzels.  Most notably, the airport there is an airport of happy places for me.  A favorite happy place: reading a newspaper with a cup of hot coffee.  Voila: Lufthansa's Terminal G at Munich Airport--International newspapers and a wide array of coffee and tea choices.  I was partial to the mochachino with an extra shot of expresso.

Aside from the incredible free coffee at the terminal--Lufthansa's in-flight service is top notch--I mean they serve cognac with dessert on the JNB-FRA flight.

They make it easy to say I love Lufthansa.
