Checking in online

Most airlines allow passengers to check in online on their website prior to travelling to the airport. You will receive your boarding pass when checking in, allowing you to proceed directly to the security checkpoints if you are travelling with carry-on luggage only.

Remember to print off all your travel documents (e-ticket, boarding pass, etc.). Please note that some airlines charge a fee to reissue boarding passes at the airport.

You can see which check-in desk is assigned to your flight on the information screens.

• Domestic and Schengen flights: 2 hours before the scheduled departure time.

Boarding

After going through the security checkpoint, look for your boarding gate on the airport screens.

The shopping area has cafeterias and restaurants and a wide variety of shops where you can find the perfect gift for your return: duty free with advantageous offers, fashion and accessories, delicatessen products, press and books.

At the boarding gate, you must show the airline personnel documentation to prove your identity. Please ask your airline about valid documentation to present to their personnel.

Security checks

Passengers accessing boarding areas must pass through a metal-detector arch at a security checkpoint and any hand luggage and other objects they are carrying (coats, jackets, mobile phones, keys) must go through an X-ray scan.

Passengers will be asked for their boarding pass before they go through the security checkpoint.

To ensure items and small articles in particular pass through the scan, passengers must place them in the special trays put at their disposal.

The airport has a Fast Lane service which airlines can use for their preferential passengers and for all passengers who purchase access.

Passport Control

If the destination of your flight is a non-Schengen country, you must go through document control.

The basic travel document is a passport, although you can travel to some countries with a National ID card (DNI). Some countries also require a visa, vaccination certificate, passport valid for 6 months after the date of arrival, etc. Check with your airline.
