Flying on holiday?
These 5 simple tips will save you time, stress, and unnecessary hassle.
1. Leave on time to travel with peace of mind
Roadworks or closures on the way to the airport can catch you off guard. Set off early and arrive at the airport at least 2.5 hours before your departure.
2. No travel without valid documents
Check in advance what travel documents you'll need to enter your destination country. And beware – digital ID cards (eDoklady) are not accepted.
3. Skip the queues
Check in and drop your bags yourself – use Self-Service Check-in and Self-Service Bag Drop where available. Check with your airline for details. A quicker path to your gate means more time for a coffee.
4. Get through security without delays
Prepare your liquids in advance – max. 100 ml containers in a single 1-litre plastic bag. Remove metal items such as watches or belts, and place them along with electronics separately into the tray.
5. Keep essentials with you
Valuables, medication, and electronics (including power banks and e-cigarettes) should always be in your carry-on baggage.
Review the airline’s conditions of carriage and information on the number of pieces and dimension of baggage allowed

Leave prohibited items behind

Prepare your travel documents – passport, id card, and valid visa, which you will need for your trip; we recommend double checking their validity

Pack valuables and electronics, including powerbanks and / or electronic cigarettes, in hand baggage

Check the time by which it is necessary to arrive at the gate for aircraft boarding as specified in your airline’s conditions of carriage

Allow enough time for your journey to the airport factoring in the current traffic situation

Arrive at the airport as instructed by the carrier, usually at least 2 hours before the scheduled departure

Proceed to the check-in counter immediately upon your arrival at the airport; opt for Self Check-in using Self-Check-in kiosks and Self-Service Bag Drop

Pack liquids you need on board in containers with a maximum volume of 100ml in a transparent resealable plastic bag of 1l in volume per person

After checking in, immediately proceed to security or passport control and then go straight to the gate
