Coming out of this terminal
Terminal 2 opened in 2000 and handles the carriers Terminal 1 does not, across eight gates. It is a compact building and the walk from stand to exit is one of the shortest at any German airport with more than one terminal.
Being the quieter building has a practical upside worth naming: the arrivals area does not get the crush that Terminal 1 sees when a Ryanair and a Lufthansa flight land together, so finding a person holding a sign is genuinely easy here even when you have never been before.
The forecourt rules are the same as Terminal 1 — ten free minutes once a day, €8 for a quarter of an hour after that. Car park P32 sits immediately beside Terminal 2 arrivals and is the one to use if you are collecting somebody yourself rather than being collected.
Where your driver stands
Your driver waits inside Terminal 2 arrivals with a name sign. The terminal comes from your flight number, so if the airline swaps you between buildings the driver moves rather than you.
Cologne Bonn’s schedule reaches into the very early morning and the late evening, and this is the smaller terminal — at those hours it is close to empty. A pre-booked car is worth considerably more here than a mid-afternoon comparison of fares would suggest.
If you land at a different terminal
Terminals 1 and 2 share the same access road and are a short walk apart, so landing at the other one costs you a few minutes on foot and nothing on the fare. It is the mildest terminal mix-up in this registry — the recovery at Frankfurt is an eight-minute train, and at Berlin it is a ten-minute walk to a different building entirely.
FAQ
Questions about this terminal
How far apart are Terminal 1 and Terminal 2 at Cologne Bonn?
A short walk along the same access road. Neither terminal costs more to reach and neither is difficult to find, which makes a last-minute terminal change here much less disruptive than at Frankfurt, Munich or Berlin.
Which airlines use Terminal 2?
The carriers not handled at Terminal 1. Terminal 2 opened in 2000 and has eight gates against Terminal 1’s thirteen. We take the actual terminal from your flight number rather than from the airline.
Where should someone park to collect me from Terminal 2?
Car park P32 is immediately beside Terminal 2 arrivals. The terminal approach itself gives ten free minutes once per day and then charges €8 for a quarter of an hour, which is enough of a step that P32 is the better option for anything but a straight pick-up-and-go.
Does the driver wait inside or at the kerb?
Inside the arrivals area, with a name sign, before you come through. Waiting time after touchdown is included, so passport control and baggage reclaim do not run against your booking.

Meet and greet
Your driver waits inside arrivals holding a name sign, helps with the luggage and walks you to the car.
60 minutes waiting
Free waiting time after touchdown — enough for passport control and baggage reclaim without anyone watching a clock.
Door to door
