Security

European airport security might not be as stringent as in the US, but remember, Vienna is one of the biggest central European international airports, and you should expect lengthy security protocol queues when a few flights overlap. Airlines have their own baggage rules, but remember, some rules are universal. Don’t try to bring liquids or sharp objects onto the plane, it’ll only lead you to lose your beverage, get stalled in the queue, or in the worst case, have to explain yourself to busy security checkpoint staff.

When to arrive

For any international flight departing from Vienna Airport, make sure to arrive at check in at least 2 hours before your flight. If your airline allows you to check in online, that might save you time in the queue, but you’re better off arriving early and having a cup of coffee than missing the flight.
