Screening of Passengers and Carry on Items
Important information on security check procedures and prohibited items.
- At the security checkpoint, you and your belongings are screened to make sure you aren’t carrying any items that are prohibited by the guidelines of the EU or IATA. Your hand luggage and outerwear (e.g. coat or jacket) are x-rayed for this purpose.
- You can help reduce waits for those behind you by leaving small items such as keys, cell phones, coins and travel documents in your coat or jacket. You must pass through a metal detector while your bags and outerwear are x-rayed.
- If you have a heart pacemaker, shunt, or catheter (e.g. for hydrocephalus) or a cochlear implant, please tell a member of the security staff before passing through the metal detector.
Liquids and Gels in Hand Luggage
- Before leaving home, try to pack all containers holding liquids and gels in the bags that you will be checking. Take only the most essential items on board with you.
- Please observe the rules on carrying liquids and gels in hand luggage.
- Before leaving home, try to pack all containers holding liquids and gels in the bags that you will be checking. Take only the most essential items on board with you.
- Containers holding liquids and gels in your carry-on luggage may not be larger than 100 ml and must be placed in a transparent, reclosable plastic bag with a capacity of no more than one liter - for example, an ordinary zippered storage bag. Each passenger may only carry one such one-liter transparent plastic bag containing liquids and/or gels.
- There are no restrictions on medications and medically required special foods (e.g. baby food or foods to meet special dietary needs) that you will require during the flight and/or will be difficult or impossible for you to obtain at your destination.
Carrying Duty-Free Purchases on Board
- Your boarding pass authorizes you to purchase perfumes, cosmetics, liquors, wines, sweets, toys, games, and accessories at outstanding prices in our Duty Free Shops.
- You may carry duty-free items purchased in a duty-free shop or on a commercial flight through the security checkpoint, provided that they are inside a transparent bag that was sealed by the sales staff when they were purchased. An externally readable document indicating the place and date of purchase must be included.
