What to keep in mind before the flight?
- Please note that check-in usually starts 2 to 3 hours before departure and closes 1 hour to 30 minutes before departure, depending on the length of the itinerary for a given flight or carrier regulations
- Remember to check the access to the airport. From our experience, it is definitely best to leave early and know how to get to the airport from the bus, tram or train stop / station etc. or how best to get to the airport and where to park safely. Before traveling, it is worth reading the regulations and price lists of airport parking lots!
- Always keep documents (ID, passport, residence card, return ticket) with you, preferably in internal pockets
- Remember where and in what form you have your boarding pass (physical / electronic). If you use an electronic card - make sure that the device on which you store it is charged!

Asking about prohibited items is not the same as asking about DGR, you should ask each passenger about both. In the event of a conflict of DGR regulations and the list of prohibited items, we apply the provisions of DGR. Example: The passenger on the LO cruise has ammunition. It is prohibited in both hand luggage and checked luggage. However, DGR regulations allow the transport of ammunition in checked baggage, and the carrier allows the transport of such an item, so you can take a suitcase with ammunition and place it in the luggage compartment. Remember not to pack any documents or medicines required for the trip into your checked baggage We recommend that you rather not pack valuables and electronics in checked baggage Please follow the restrictions as indicated on the website of the carrier whose services you use Special baggage - it is difficult to provide universal advice in this regard. Please visit the website of the airline whose services you use.
