LHR: Yet another arrival question

the SEA->LHR flight and LHR->MUN flight are on different tickets. I'll be carrying my luggage, but would checking it make any difference?

Note that Munich is airport code MUC.

If you are carrying your luggage AND you have your boarding pass for the LHR - MUC, then you will stay airside. Follow the flight connections signs to terminal 2. There will be a security check, but no customs or immigration.

If you check luggage, you will have to go through passport control, collect your luggage, walk to T2 landside, check in/drop off bags in T2, go through security.

Laura is correct.

I'll be carrying my luggage, but would checking it make any difference?

Yes. Don't check your luggage and your life will be easier. You can then follow the "flight connection" signs, stay airside and be bussed over to T2. No immigration or customs but you will go through security.

You must have your Lufthansa boarding pass for this.

If for some reason, they make you go through immigration and customs, it's not a big deal. When you exit customs at terminal 3, just follow the signs to terminal 2. It's a 5 minute walk underground. There are even moving walkways. (I've done this walk a few times and as recent as three weeks ago.)

I am more the edified; thank ye!

Ah, wunderbar!

Not checking luggage it is!

I'm all for my life being easier!

You must have your Lufthansa boarding pass for this.

I dread to ask this, but if I don't?

Sounds easy-peasey!

As soon you land at LHR, turn on your phone and down load the boarding pass.

Do what Ed suggested about getting your boarding pass.

If not, you will have to go landside to the Lufthansa check in area. That means immigration, customs, walking between terminals.

By the way, how much time do you have between flights?

Frank II:

By the way, how much time do you have between flights?

Land @ 1:15 and depart @ 5:50.

hopefully, that's more than enough time.
