Checking in online, if you are only travelling with hand baggage or simply want to save time at the airport. You can use this free service as early as 72 hours before departure and reserve your desired seat directly!
Scheduling enough time for check-in and security checks to avoid unnecessary time pressure.
Planning an additional half hour for the walk from check-in to the boarding gate, especially if there is a high volume of passengers (e.g. at the start of a holiday), if you are dropping off special baggage or if you require special flight assistance.
Paying attention to monitor displays and airport announcements - these provide information on where check-in counters are located and inform about changes.
Checking the liquids in your hand baggage: The maximum amount of permitted liquids in hand baggage is 1000 ml/g (maximum 10 containers of 100 ml each in a resealable 1 litre bag).
Would you like to drop off your baggage the night before? You can do so at the following airports:
The service is available free of charge at the baggage kiosks (except Stuttgart) or for €5.00 per person (incl. taxes) at the counter. Use of the kiosks is not available for flights to Armenia, Egypt, Georgia, Montenegro, Morocco, Saudi Arabia, Tunisia, Turkey or the United Arab Emirates.
Late Night Baggage Drop is not available for flights to Beirut, Pristina and Erbil, or for flights to the USA or Canada. Sports weapons cannot be dropped the night before.
If free check-in at the airport is not included in your fare (e.g. in the BASIC fare), we recommend checking in online before dropping of your baggage. Should you decide at the airport that you'd prefer to check in at the counter, we will charge €20 per person.
