Both terminals have a great range of places to eat and shop, ranging from duty free and Bavarian souvenirs to high-end fashion. Free Wi-Fi available throughout the airport complex. Lufthansa's Senator and Business lounges are located in terminal 2, while the pay in VipWing, Atlantic lounge and Europe lounge are all in terminal 1. There are some Napcabs (nap cabins) in terminal 2: perfect if you have time for a snooze before boarding. Just remember to set your alarm. Note that prices are slightly cheaper from 10pm to 6am, and are charged by the hour.
