Thanks for all the suggestions. We land mid-morning Saturday, and I will have beer in hand before noon. Plan is to drink and eat all day and somehow find my way back to the airport for return flight to London that night for Saints game next day. Definitely a bucket list event that I couldn't pass up.

Geez man. Well I'm pretty sure the train that goes to the airport is the same route that runs by the fest if not it will be a very easy one stop change. If you are going on a Saturday, you definitely need to head straight to the fest as it fills up super fast. If you get there before 1-2 there will definitely be some seats to be found but you don't want to mess around. If you are by yourself definitely try to squeeze in on some inside tables.

I found that the Germans generally don't love having tourists sit with them on the inside first come tables but once you are seated they are super nice. So if you see a spot open it's usually not worth even asking and just sit down.

OK, I have some words that you need to commit to memory.

Hauptbahnhof- this is the Central Station that will take you to just about anywhere in the city.

Flughafen- This is the airport.

S-Bahn- the subway

S1 and S8 will take you to the airport. They each go a different way but both will get you there in about 40 minutes. They generally leave every 20 minutes or so.

Personally, I would take S8 on the Eastbound line. The S1 splits at Neufahrn. One section goes to Freising while the other goes on to the airport. If you take the S1, make sure the car you enter has Flughafen as the destination. It was generally the back three cars when I was there.
