How the security check works
To ensure that everyone takes off safely, every person is checked before departure - quickly, carefully and routinely. It is best to choose the checkpoint where it is quickest. The current waiting times are displayed on the monitors on site and online. All routes at Stuttgart Airport are short. This means that all gates are easy to reach from every checkpoint.
Important: People with pacemakers should speak to our staff before the checkpoint.
1. fill the tubs: Everything must go on the belt
At the checkpoint, please place all bags and items in the tubs. Each person can use as many tubs as they need.
Questions about special items? Our team will be happy to help - for example with children's toys, cameras or drones.
2. security scanner: Does it beep?
If all items are in the tub, each person is asked to go through the safety scanner individually. If a beep sounds, a follow-up check is carried out. Simply follow the instructions of the security staff - everything goes quickly and smoothly.
3. follow-up check: Better safe than sorry
Personal check: When the scanner is activated, a short pat-down by the security staff follows - respectful and routine.
Baggage check: If there is anything unclear about your hand luggage, you will be asked to open it. The baggage must not be touched during the check.
Explosives check: Explosives checks are carried out in the event of suspicion or random checks. In this case, it is important to follow the instructions of the security staff exactly.
