So they may not book flights that provide for hours sitting around in a lounge eating and drinking, instead they can zip through transit security, grab a ready made snack box to go and head quickly onto their next flight. Lufthansa have been trialling 'Grab and Go' snack boxes for their eligible business class lounge passengers, catering for the fact that some passengers spend very little time connecting in such an efficient operation. Inside the airport there are some complimentary activities to keep you occupied should your connection take even less time than you expect with rest areas and sleeping pods available. This allows Lufthansa and other connecting airlines to offer short connections of as low as 45 minutes. It is a major hub for German powerhouse Lufthansa, though is smaller than their primary hub in Frankfurt (FRA). Munich (MUC) is one of the busiest, bust consistently well-rated airports in Europe (if not the world). This lounges features a la carte dining and, being Finland, also includes a sauna which "replicates the authentic Finnish smoke sauna experience, with a large cooling area and mood lighting to ensure a calming environment." There's also fantastic Oneworld lounge options if you have a little more time up your sleeve including their newly opened Platinum Wing for Finnair Plus Platinum and Platinum Lumo members, as well as Oneworld Emerald cardholders. Try that at the likes of Los Angeles (LAX) or Paris (CDG)! Its small terminal size, easy navigation and quick security allows its biggest tenant, Oneworld airline Finnair to provide lightning quick connections as short as 35 minutes. Helsinki may have the airport code (HEL) but the experience couldn't be further from it. If you have the choice of multiple European airports to connect in, what are the best options? In no particular order, here are TPG's favorites: Helsinki Airport Heathrow (LHR) can be a confusing maze and given its size, especially if you have to change terminals to transfer to another flight (such as coming off one British Airways flight at Terminal 3 and on to another flight in Terminal 5) this can be an very inefficient process. London airports don't have the best reputation for connections.
