Cheap Flights from Munich to Bilbao Starting at $88

Munich Airport (MUC) is Bavaria’s main international gateway and a full-service hub for legacy carriers—most notably Lufthansa—alongside a mix of long-haul and European connections. Located about 28 km northeast of the city center, it is reachable in roughly 35–45 minutes by S-Bahn (S1/S8) for a fare in the lower-mid range, or by car/taxi in about 30–40 minutes depending on traffic, typically costing more. Airport express buses and regional coaches offer alternatives for varied budgets. MUC tends to be perceived as mid-to-upper in price but offers wide amenities, lounges and efficient transfers; downsides can include the walk between terminals and busier peak-period queues.

Bilbao Airport (BIO) serves as the main international gateway for Spain’s Basque Country, blending full-service carriers with a strong presence of low-cost airlines. It typically handles a mix of short-haul European routes and a handful of seasonal long-haul services, so fares can range from budget-friendly to mid-market depending on carrier and season. The airport lies about 12 km (roughly 20–30 minutes by car) from Bilbao city centre; public transport options include an airport bus (about 30–40 minutes, low single-digit euro fares) and taxis (shorter transfer times, higher cost). Pros: compact terminal and straightforward connections make it convenient for quick transfers. Cons: fewer late-night or very long-haul options than larger hubs, and peak-season crowds can affect comfort.
