Cheap flights from Liverpool to Munich

October is the cheapest month on this route, and the fare calendar fills in from September through March, then picks up again in May, June and July. Late autumn and the weeks after the New Year tend to be quieter, while summer departures from Liverpool John Lennon cost more because everyone wants the same dates. Midweek flights, Tuesday and Wednesday in particular, usually undercut Friday and Sunday returns. If your plans are flexible, book a month or two ahead for the shoulder months and steer around the school-holiday weeks unless you have no choice.

Four carriers show up on this route: Easyjet, Aer Lingus, Emerald Airlines and Loganair Limited. Easyjet is the low-cost option, so the headline fare covers a seat and a small cabin bag, with checked luggage and seat choice added as extras. Aer Lingus and Emerald Airlines sit at the full-service end, where fares tend to include more and a missed connection is the airline's problem rather than yours. Loganair Limited is a regional operator, and on some dates it will be the only carrier offering a sensible connection. Since nothing flies nonstop, the real difference between them is where you change planes and whether the whole journey sits on one ticket.

You land at Munich International, the city's main gateway, which sits outside town rather than on its edge. Trains and buses run from the terminals into the centre through the day, and the ride is long enough that you should plan it into your arrival instead of treating it as a quick hop. Taxis and private transfers cost more but save the changes if you are carrying a lot. If your connection lands you late, check the last departure into the city before you commit to the onward leg, and remember that everything on this route arrives at the same airport.

Country facts: Wikidata

• Check whether your fare includes a checked bag, because low-cost tickets on this route often sell it separately.
• Confirm which airport you leave from, since Liverpool has one main gateway and your ticket should name it.
• Look at the connection time in both directions and decide whether a tight change is worth the saving.
• Carry a valid passport for Germany and check its expiry date before you book.
• Book early if you are travelling in the summer months, when fares from Liverpool to Munich climb.
• Compare the same dates across each airline rather than trusting the first price you see.
