First time flying international & solo (PMI -> HND via MUC). Need a sanity check on Lufthansa's app check-in and layover.
Hi everyone! Please excuse me if I sound like a total newbie, but this is going to be my very first international flight, and I'm doing it completely solo. I am flying with Lufthansa from Palma de Mallorca (PMI) to Tokyo Haneda (HND) with a 3-hour layover in Munich. I am traveling light—no checked bags, just carry-on luggage.
To keep my anxiety in check, I have written down the exact steps I plan to follow. I would love it if you could review my plan and correct me if I'm missing anything important:
- Check-in: I will do it via the Lufthansa app exactly 30 hours before departure, using the 6-character booking code found in my confirmation email.
- Boarding Passes: This is my first doubt. Since I have a layover on a single ticket, will the app issue just one boarding pass or two separate ones (one for each flight)?
- At Palma Airport: Since I don't have checked luggage, my plan is to go straight through security. Once inside, I will head to the gate and simply show my passport and the QR code on my phone (I'll take a screenshot in case my mobile data fails). Is that it, or is there any extra step before boarding?
- Munich Layover: Once I land in Munich for my 3-hour layover, what is the exact process? I know I have to go through passport control to exit the Schengen area to Japan, but do I also need to clear security screening for my carry-on bags again?
Does this plan sound solid? Any corrections or tips would mean the world to me. Thank you so much!
