Well, Friday is fast approaching, are you ready? Don't forget your passport. Remember the luggage requirements. Let's talk about the airports today!We fly into the Munich Airport [MUC] from Philadelphia. Franz Josef International Airport otherwise known as Munich Airport is situated on the Northeast of Munich and is the 2nd largest airport in Germany. It won the "Best Airport in Europe" status in 2007. How cool is that! This is where we will go thru customs, too. Thermal imaging cameras from FLIR Systems are being used to protect the perimeter of the airport. This picture shows the Munich Airport in full garb.
Next we fly into the Dresden Aiport [DRS], which is the 15th largest airport in Germany located to the north of Dresden. It was primarily a military airport during World War II. It became a commercial airport in 1957 and the center of East German aviation. After the reunification, it underwent considerable expansion, modernization, and now operates three terminals. From here it is very close to our final destination, Freital. You will be served dinner after we leave Phila., make sure you get plenty of sleep on the plane, if you can - I know this is such an exciting trip for all of us.
