Dog arrival guide
Munich Airport Animal Station
Germany's second-largest international airport. While Frankfurt's Lufthansa Animal Lounge is the primary hub for cargo transits, Munich provides competent animal handling facilities in its cargo zone. Popular routing for pets traveling to/from southern Germany, Austria, and northern Italy.
Hours
Cargo: Mon–Fri 6:00 AM – 10:00 PM
Dog-Owner Tip
Frankfurt is generally preferred for cargo pet transits due to the superior Animal Lounge. Munich works well for accompanied pets on direct flights. EU Pet Passport holders experience quick clearance. Non-EU arrivals need full documentation.
Facility map
Map the animal facility, not just the passenger terminal.
The critical address is usually the cargo, animal reception, quarantine or border-inspection facility. Use this as a starting map search, then confirm the exact entrance with the airline, facility or receiving agent before travelling.

Before the flight
Send document scans early where the facility offers pre-checks, and confirm whether the airline treats your dog as cabin, checked baggage, AVIH or manifest cargo.
After landing
Wait for clearance updates. Cargo and animal reception facilities are often outside passenger terminals and may need a taxi, car or agent appointment.
What to carry
Bring photo ID, original veterinary documents, microchip details, airway bill numbers, agent contacts and a charged phone.
