It is 4.55 PM, when my colleague and I arrive at the Terminal 2 of the Munich airport Franz-Josef-Strauß. Our Lufthansa flight to Mallorca to take off at 5.50 PM. In the car Park, it is at this time still eerily empty, but the Check-In area is filled with life. A mother your child is trying to capture. The girl whizzes in their small, rattling sandals by the entrance area. Mom and daughter wear a Mouth guard – like all good.
Before the automated baggage drop-off stations have formed long queues with excited and fun people. The minimum clearance of any holds here, even a group of young men, they talk loudly about the old holiday stories. Many signs, which point to the current Covid-19-Situation, or the Mouth guard and spacing rules, there are. For employees of the Lufthansa walk around and not see to the Right – a rule-offenders they catch, before we have to leave for the Gate.
Almost smooth security check
But prior to that, the safety waiting for control, before I had a bit of a Worry. Because on its website, the Lufthansa writes that one should plan due to the pandemic a little bit more time. Unfortunately, I had read that too late, so that we are only three quarters of an hour before departure at the Check. But the early departure time comes for me to Good. The Barrier in front of the security control is empty of people. The Check runs smoothly – at least as far as the Corona-rules. A little problem with my defense spray for emergencies is defined also – I’m going to leave it simple.

Boarding in groups
at about 5.20 PM, I stop them with my spray-free laptop bag and I make my way, together with the colleagues at the Gate. For this time, the security area in Terminal 2 is attended quite well. On the drive to rise behind us, the guys group is back from the entrance to the area. They push each other, keep the safety distance to us.
in order To 5.40, the Boarding begins. To prevent the tourists jamming in the Gangway the Boarding in groups. Only the Business Class, then the seat rows, so the Plan of the flight line. I’m self-boarding group 5, documents but already around 5.45 my seat on the plane. Because I’m just running with the colleagues from the group of 3. A Lufthansa lady checked my Ticket, but not me.
In the case of “Face Shield” is the Lufthansa Crew generously
“Wear them, as our Crews – your mask during the entire stay on Board”, the Lufthansa on its website. And in fact, no one of his mouthguard gets rid of during the two-hour flight – at least the flight attendants catch anyone. But in the row behind me, a Couple of, which carries a so-called “Face Shield” as protection sits. In the Internet the Lufthansa writes, however, that “Face Shields” should not be used as a substitute of a mouth-nose protection is worn. By this rule is not enforced on our flight at least.

As planned, we will land at just before 8 on Mallorca. We leave the plane in groups – again all keep good standards. However, in the Terminal of Palma, the Chaos begins. Tightly Packed with the holiday crowds push in the direction of baggage claim, I hear Dutch, German, but also Spanish voices. Posters everywhere that remind you of the mask duty and distance rules. Although the minimum distance is often not adhered to, reminded of the ground staff of anyone.

“Mandatory” health form?
In a large gear are built at the airport in Palma several tables where pens, to hang. The Problem: a number of tourists crowd around a table, the Situation is confusing, the volume level is high, the air hot. That it is not allowed to stand several on a table, nobody explains. The employees of the airport are too busy to distribute the pieces of paper. FOCUS Online
At a secluded table to fill in, my colleague and I, the piece of paper. After that is not clear to whom you should give the completed slip. We run more in the direction of baggage claim. Just before the door that leads to the baggage area, I find an airport employee. I can give my Corona piece of paper.
at half past 9, I pull my suitcase through the automatic sliding door in the direction of the exit. In the fresh air, I see that the colleague is still holding something White in his hands. It is the for the entry the mandatory health form. No one has taken it off him.
