At the airport

If you are travelling with checked baggage, please drop it off at the check-in desk assigned to your flight. Then proceed to security control, located on the second floor of the Departures terminal. You can reach it via escalators located in the central part of the building. If you have any questions, please stop by the Information desk, where the staff will be happy to help you with any inquiries.

Please follow these steps during security screening:

Since 1 September 2015, EU regulations on explosive detection have been in force at all European airports, including Bratislava Airport.

When going through security screening, some passengers may be subject to additional checks using explosive trace detection (ETD) swabs. Samples may be taken from hand baggage, clothing, belts, hands, or other personal items. These samples will be submitted for further inspection. The process of taking samples is safe and has no influence on passengers' health.

Please check the flight information screens in the waiting area to confirm your departure gate. A late arrival at the gate might result in denied boarding (in accordance with the Conditions of Carriage of the designated airline), without the right to compensation.

Intoxication

Passengers are expected to behave respectfully at all times and follow the instructions of the check-in staff and security control personnel, as well as other airport representatives involved in the handling process. Aggressive or inappropriate behavior may be considered a potential threat to flight safety and can result in denied boarding or removal from the flight. Passengers showing signs of intoxication (alcohol or drugs), whether during check-in or when boarding the plane, might also be refused travel. The effects of alcohol and drugs can intensify during a flight and pose a safety risk. The most common cause of intoxication is alcohol, followed by so-called soft drugs.
