All about flying

The most important tips for travelling from Stuttgart Airport - from preparation and arrival to security checks.

Self bag drops with limited availability and security checkpoint in Terminal 3 temporarily out of service

Please note: Self bag drops are currently only available to a limited extent. In addition, the security check in Terminal 3 is closed due to renovation work. The aim is to expand the security lanes and prepare them for the use of state-of-the-art CT screening equipment. Terminals 1 and 2 are available as usual.

To help you get off to a good start on your holiday, here are some important tips for travelling from Stuttgart Airport.

Like everywhere else, there are peak times at Stuttgart Airport - especially in the early morning and afternoon. During these time slots, there may be waiting times at the security checkpoint and at check-in.

We recommend that you have all your ID and required travel documents to hand. The respective airline's hand luggage regulations should also be observed.

Tip: If you like to plan carefully, you can book a time slot for the security check in advance to reduce waiting times.

Book a place in the Smart Lane!

Important: It is best to plan your journey to the airport at least 2 hours before departure.

More than 3 hours earlier is not necessary. The German Federal Police recommends arriving at the security checkpoint at least 90 minutes before departure.

Even if the airport is quieter at other times, these travel recommendations will help you get off to a relaxed start.
