After reading the forum, I think the way to get from the Munich Airport to the München Hauptbahnhof is by taking the S1 or S8 S-Bahn.
I can't remember if there I will need to change S-Bahn trains to get from the airport to the train station (it's been 17 years since I was last there).
Also, if someone would care to offer advice on the practicality of purchasing my train ticket from Munich to Vilseck once I get to the München Hauptbahnhof. I'm just concerned about international air travel and train ticket flexibility.
Thank you,
