Before starting your trip, you can choose to check-in via the traditional check-in at the counter, web check-in at home or the self check-in machines which are available at Vienna Airport. Some airlines (Austrian, Lufthansa, Swiss and Brussels Airlines) already offer their passengers the possibility to drop off their own baggage at a check-in terminal. The self check-in or the check-in machines are time-saving with a simple design. Please observe the detailed instructions for transporting oversize baggage or animals.

Liquids restriction: Passengers are able to take liquids through security check points again, however, some restrictions still apply. Individual containers of liquids must not exceed a maximum capacity of 100ml.

It is important to give yourself plenty of time for your check in at the airport. For long haul flights the check in is two or three hours prior to your flight. We recommend allowing a little longer. Everything takes longer than it used to at the airport, particularly during peak times. You can expect delays and long queues for check-in and screening. Allow extra time just in case of special circumstances.
