Before starting your trip, you can choose to check-in via the traditional check-in at the counter, web check-in at home or the self check-in machines which are available at Vienna Airport. Some airlines (Austrian, Lufthansa, Swiss and Brussels Airlines) already offer their passengers the possibility to drop off their own baggage at a check-in terminal. The self check-in or the check-in machines are time-saving with a simple design. Please observe the detailed instructions for transporting oversize baggage or animals.
