The inaugural flight 4Y80 is scheduled to take off from Munich today, Wednesday, March 5, at 4:55pm, and land in Orlando at 9:30 PM, marking the inaugural direct connection between the two cities. All times are local.
The Lufthansa Group carrier, Discover Airlines, has been serving Orlando since November 2022, providing several weekly flights from Frankfurt. With the addition of the Munich connection, Discover Airlines now offers a total of 10 weekly flights between Germany and Orlando, including daily service from Frankfurt and three times weekly from Munich. Munich Airport serves the southern part of Germany and is the second largest airport in the country, after Frankfurt.
“We are thrilled to offer this first-ever direct route between Orlando and Munich, marking a significant milestone for our airline and of course both regions. Since we started flying here from Frankfurt, Orlando has been one of the most frequented destinations of our airline. The success of our Frankfurt service made Munich the logical next step. Orlando has always been a strong partner for us. We look forward to further strengthening the connection between both regions and offering even more travel options for our passengers,” said Marco Goetz, Chief Commercial Officer of Discover Airlines.
“Orlando International Airport (MCO) is excited to welcome Discover’s new nonstop service to Munich, marking an exciting milestone for our city,” said Kevin J. Thibault, CEO of Greater Orlando Aviation Authority, which operates Orlando International Airport. “For the first time ever, Munich will be a direct destination from Orlando, a testament to the growing demand for international travel. This new service is a perfect reflection of the increased global connectivity at Orlando International Airport, which continues to evolve as a key hub for travelers from around the world and for those who call Central Florida home.”
