Transfer from the parking area to the terminal and back to the parking area
We offer various parking options at all three terminals. Especially regarding the opening of Terminal 3 in spring 2026 and the associated phased relocation of airlines, we provide you here with a detailed overview of how to get from your pre-booked parking area to your departure terminal and back.
Please note that for all routes from the parking area to your departure terminal, you should be at check-in at least 2 to 3 hours before departure (depending on your destination).
We recommend that you drop off larger bulky luggage (e.g. surfboard) at your departure terminal first before driving to your booked parking area.
After successfully entering the parking area with the QR code, you will receive a Carfinder email from us with information about the parking area/row you used. Additionally, we recommend that you make a note of the level, parking area/row, and parking spot.
