Passenger amenities

The check-in process normally starts 2 hours before the scheduled departure of the aircraft and ends 40 minutes (international flights) or 30 minutes (domestic flights) before the scheduled departure time.

This time before departure must be strictly observed, as the check-in process consists of not only the passenger and his/her luggage, but also security checks and, in the case of non-schengen flights, passport control. The scheduled departure time is indicated in the airport flight schedule or airline flight schedule. The exact information for a specific flight can be found in the airline’s conditions of carriage.

If you are travelling on a charter flight for your holiday, please follow the instructions of your travel agent.

Standard equipment

Check-in counters are located in the departure hall.

You need to bring:

Ticket (paper or electronic)
voucher
or booking code
a valid travel document

At the check-in desk, you will hand in your luggage for check-in and receive your boarding pass and baggage ticket. You will then proceed to the security check.

Electronic equipment

Most airlines now offer the option of electronic check-in from the comfort of your own home. The conditions and times for electronic check-in are determined individually by each airline.
