Strasbourg Airport was one of the first French airports to monitor all hold luggage.

Prepare your luggage before boarding.

Items to be taken onto the aeroplane with you:

laptops, camcorders, cameras and films that deteriorate under powerful X-rays.

Make sure your hand luggage does not exceed the permitted dimensions!
(length x width x height = 115 cm, including wheels and handles, max. 10 kg)

At the security checkpoint you will be required to present your hand luggage for screening; you must also place your jacket and the contents of your pockets in the containers provided, in order to save time and avoid multiple trips through the metal detector.

Reminder of new restrictions on liquids and gels in hand luggage.

Items to be placed in your hold luggage :

any sharp or blunt object, including small manicure scissors, nail files, pocket knives, etc.

Attempts to take these items into the cabin may mean that you have to abandon them at the security checkpoint!
Cosmetic or medical aerosol sprays are permitted in the cabin, but tear gas sprays must be placed in the hold.
This also applies to hunting and sports weapons, which must weigh no more than 5 kg and be securely packaged; such items must be reported on boarding.

Hold luggage weight restrictions vary depending on the airline and the class of ticket. In general, luggage should not exceed 20 kg in economy class, 30 kg in business class and 15 kg on charter flights.
Please consult your airline for further information.

As from 31 January 2014, you should check in the maximum number of items in your hold luggage and only retain items which are absolutely essential for your voyage in your hand luggage. If you are travelling without hold luggage, you must place your liquids in a closed transparent bag (i.e. a “freezer bag” of approx. 20 cm x 20 cm).

Before passing through the security checkpoint:

• Present your liquids to the security officials for examination.
• Remove jackets, coats, belts and shoes.
• Remove laptops or other electronic devices from your hand luggage and from their covers. These will be screened separately.

Airlines may request additional measures.

After the security checkpoint :

• All items purchased in the boarding area – particularly liquids, drinks, perfumes, etc. – are permitted in the cabin, whatever their content.
• You are therefore free to make purchases from the shops in the boarding area (according to customs restrictions).

Between the ages of 4 and 12, children may travel alone as Unaccompanied Minors, depending on the airline.

Please note that Volotea does not provide the service of accompanying minors.

The unaccompanied child must be presented at check-in. The child will be given a special pouch which should be retained throughout the voyage. The pouch will contain flight ticket, identity documents, parental authorisation and an identification form containing the name and address of the person responsible for meeting the child at the arrival airport.

This person must be in possession of proof of identity.
The child will be assisted by personnel from the airline, who will look after the child and accompany the child through the boarding process, during the flight and on exiting the aeroplane.

As from 1 January 2013, minors no longer require authorisation to leave the country.
A French minor may now travel alone with an identity card if the destination country is in the European Union or with a passport if the destination country is outside the European Union.

A legal procedure and an administrative procedure may be carried out in cases of emergency if required in order to ensure the protection of minors.
