Does Zone M include airport Munich?

Zone M covers the entire Munich city area and in some cases extends beyond it. Zones 1 to 6 cover the districts belonging to the MVV area. Munich Airport is located in zone 5. On the new network plans, each stop is also marked with the corresponding zone (e.g. Harthaus in zone M/1)



No, Munich Airport (MUC) is not located within Zone M of the MVV (Munich Transport and Tariff Association). In the current 2026 fare structure, Zone M covers the central urban area of Munich and its immediate inner suburbs. The airport is situated in Zone 5, which is significantly further out from the city center. For a journey from the central Marienplatz or the Main Train Station (Hauptbahnhof) to the airport, you must purchase a ticket that covers Zones M through 5. The most popular options for travelers are the "Airport-City-Day-Ticket" or the "CityTourCard," both of which are specifically designed to include this M-5 range. Navigating with only a Zone M ticket will likely lead to an "increased fare" (fine) if you are checked by an inspector on the S1 or S8 S-Bahn lines before reaching the terminal.
