With the upcoming start of the summer holidays in the border triangle, the EuroAirport Basel-Mulhouse-Freiburg A very high passenger volume is expected in the coming weeks. The airport strongly recommends travelers arrive early and prepare well to ensure the smoothest possible operation.
The increased passenger volume will inevitably lead to longer waiting times at checkpoints, both upon departure and arrival. Arrival at the airport at least two hours before your scheduled departure is therefore strongly recommended. Good travel preparation before departure is crucial, including advance information about the entry requirements of the airline and the respective destination country—for example, whether an identity card or a passport with a visa is required. Travelers are also advised to consider online check-in and, if possible, use it to save time at the airport.
The parking situation also requires planning: Since the number of parking spaces is limited, advance reservations or sufficient time to search for a parking space are recommended for those arriving by car. The airport generally recommends using public transportation. To avoid unnecessary waiting times at security checkpoints, passengers should find out in advance which items are permitted in checked and carry-on baggage. Certain items are not permitted on the aircraft for security reasons.
EuroAirport also urges all travelers to never leave their luggage unattended for security reasons. Violations may result in the evacuation of the terminal and a fine of up to €450. The airport will communicate this policy through various channels, including terminal announcements, posters, and the website. The expected increase in passenger volume poses a challenge for all parties involved in the airport platform, and efforts are being made to ensure the best possible passenger experience for travelers.
