Getting around Europe is easier than even, as many of the world’s finest airports are found on the continent, including:

Munich Strauss Airport
As the primary hub for Lufthansa as well as United Airlines, the Strauss Airport is Germany’s second most popular airport and serves a variety of regional and international destinations. With nearly 34 million passengers passing through its gates each year, the Airport has invested in the latest security technology as well as ensuring state of the art facilities for travelers. With two complete terminals (the most recent opened in 2003), the Airport is easily accessible by rail or car for urban travelers. City officials are planning for an additional runway and terminal expansion, as the logistics of the airport have made it increasingly popular with inter-continental travelers in recent years.

Amsterdam Schiphol Airport
The primary airport in the Netherlands, Schiphol Airport is located just over 10 miles outside of Amsterdam and is a popular hub for European travel. One of Europe’s busiest airports, the terminal sees nearly 48 million passengers a year, 70% of whom were traveling within the continent; with five runways and four terminals, the Airport handles the majority of air traffic volume in the country. Most leading airlines operate gates at Schiphol including Sky Europe, KLM, and Northwest Airlines. The large variety of international airlines includes destinations ranging from Asia to Africa, and you can reach most any metropolitan destination from Schiphol, which also features world-class facilities and lounges for world travelers.

Portugal’s Francisco de Sa Carneiro Airport
Situated just outside of the city of Porto, Carneiro Airport has one of the best records of passenger service in the airline industry. With service from a wide range of regional and international carriers, ranging from Air Europa to Iberia, the Airport is known for its cleanliness and efficiency in international flights.
