The first weekend of the summer vacation has cost a lot of nerves to thousands of Bavarians. In the scorching heat of the motorways and the Munich airport, one needed one thing: patience. Two departure rooms had been cleaned on Saturday morning because an unknown woman had come unattended into the lobby security area. On the motorways to the south, there was especially a long way to go, which caused traffic jams.

Only five hours after the incident at Munich airport, the building's security zone was released. At that time, at least 200 flights had been canceled. With about 60 flights, there were delays of more than half an hour, said the airport operator. Only in the afternoon, after seven o'clock, the first flights could leave the terminals concerned

Early in the morning, the federal police had received information that the woman – without being controlled by the guards of security – had entered the security zone. Then the area was completely cleaned and searched by the federal police.

There was chaos at the airport. Thousands of holidaymakers wanted to start their holiday on weekends at the start of a six-week summer holiday in Bavaria from Munich. In front of meters formed long lines. The announcements of loudspeakers called for peace and quiet. Airport staff distributed water to people waiting.

The impact on landings at Munich Airport, the second largest in Germany, has not been expelled. The terminal was not affected by the blockade 1. Flights began there largely according to plan.

On the roads in Bavaria were according to the data of the ADAC Saturday especially many cars on the way. On the A9 from Nuremberg towards Munich, on the A99 motorway from Munich and the A8 motorway from Salzburg, there were already several kilometers of traffic jams in the early hours.

Small accidents occurred on the A3 near Pbadau. According to a spokesman for the police, the traffic could reach ten kilometers. In addition, the rest areas were crowded. The tail of a gas station had reached the highway lane

Many vacationers had already left at night, said a spokeswoman for ADAC. But they also had to be patient: on the A8 Munich towards Salzburg was in the morning, according to a police spokesman in Rosenheim "Dense Trip". But major accidents have not arrived. Even around Würzburg, there were minor accidents and motorists were stuck in traffic for several kilometers or only broken down.

Around noon, the situation on the A3 in the east of Bavaria has gradually subsided. For the afternoon, the spokesperson of the ADAC was expecting a more relaxed situation on all Bavarian roads than in the morning. However, traffic jams could still occur.
