Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked baggage.

Pointed or sharp objects, like your beloved pocket knife, and products which are flammable or explosive, such as flares, chemicals agents and fireworks, are also restricted.

  • Comfort should be your highest priority when choosing what to wear on your flight. Consider your footwear with care too, as swollen ankles and feet are a common occurrence. Flat, slightly roomy shoes are your best bet.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Vienna?

  • Your belt, coat, keys and other items in your pocket, like your headphones, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them before your turn arrives.
  • All your electronics, including your laptop and phone, are also required to be scanned.
