Do I need a boarding pass to go from Terminal 1 to Terminal 2 at Munich Airport? [closed]

I want to transit at Munich airport without going out of the transit area. I arrive in Munich with Thai Airways Terminal 2 and depart from Terminal 1 Condor to my non-European final destination.

1- Do I need a boarding pass to travel from T2 to T1?

Given that I can't (visa required for my country of origin) leave the transit zone.

2-Can my partner (we are in the same ticket) drop off my checked baggage as well as his at the drop off point without me having to be present?

Best Answer

No, you do not need a boarding pass to take the bus from T2 to T1.
I called Munich airport to confirm this, and while they don't like it, it will be OK if your partner explains the situation to the Condor check-in staff.

However, given that you don't have a visa, you may well not be allowed to board a plane, since you have two separate bookings and the airline will consider Munich your final destination.

Contact Thai Airways and clear this up with them.
