Discover the three-level concept

With an area of 150,000 square metres, the large terminal building will change the nature and quality of travel for our passengers. The Austrian Star Alliance terminal offers a very short connection time of 25 minutes due to the three-level design of the building. Unlike other airports, you simply switch between levels and not between terminals. The terminal is directly connected to the existing building. The entire airport facilities are located under one roof, so that all three check-in areas are accessible without leaving the building. The three-level concept offers short and convenient transfer routes. Arriving and departing passengers, and Schengen and non-Schengen passengers are processed in separate areas. The three levels are connected to each other via escalators and are thus easily accessible.

Check-in desks

On Level 1 of the terminal building, there is a light and airy check-in zone with numerous self-service check-in kiosks where you can print your baggage tags and a baggage check, as well as check-in desks. A special “ticketing island” is available for you to book, rebook and collect your tickets.

There are check-in islands for the exclusive use of status customers and Business Class travellers. A Special Assistance desk is available for all unaccompanied children and passengers with restricted mobility.

Please note the check-in deadlines so you reach your gate in good time and without stress.
