AT THE AIRPORT

We usually meet our guests at the Meeting Point in the terminal they arrive in. There is only one Meeting Point in each terminal: In Terminal 1 it is by Arrival Gate B-1; in Terminal 2, it is in front of Arrival Gate E.

If you have carry-ons, there is a luggage storage facility near both of the Meeting Points and we can assist you in getting your bags stored as well as finding an ATM if you need euro. Make sure you have notified your bank that you are traveling in Germany so that your ATM card will work here.
