There is another daily Lufthansa flight connecting Porto to Munich

Lufthansa has another flight that directly connects the cities of Porto and Munich, an operation that started on Monday, May 2. Thus, the plane will leave Porto at 6:10 am, heading to the capital of Bavaria, with an estimated arrival in Munich at 10:05 am local time. In this way, and according to the German Airline, “Porto passengers will have greater flexibility and will be able to reach almost all connecting flights in Munich, thanks to the early morning arrival time”.

The return flight to Porto is scheduled for the end of the night, departing from Munich at 9:30 pm and scheduled to arrive in Porto at 11:25 pm.

“This additional frequency reflects Lufthansa’s ongoing commitment to Portugal”, says Thomas Ahlers, Chief Executive of Sales for the Lufthansa Group for Portugal, adding: “If we look at the growth of the Lufthansa Group from Porto as a whole, meaning, in addition to Lufthansa, SWISS, Brussels Airlines and Eurowings, we are offering more than a third of flights than in 2019”. In total, the German airline now offers 253 weekly connections from five Portuguese airports (Porto, Lisbon, Faro, Funchal, and Ponta Delgada).

This new flight doubles the capacity of the Porto-Munich connection, benefitting not only the passengers on a business trip, but also the tourism sector in Porto and Northern Portugal. This flight will be operated with a Lufthansa Airbus A320, with a full capacity of 162 passengers.

Lufthansa’s two flights to Munich complete the three daily flights to Frankfurt, meaning that the airline company offers a total of five daily connections throughout the day to and from Porto. SWISS, Eurowings and Brussels Airlines also operate flights from Porto to their respective hubs. With 13 daily departures from Porto, the Lufthansa Group registers a growth of 34% compared to 2019.
