Drop-off and collection

Arrive, stop, carry on: everything you need to know about drop-offs and pick-ups

Directions to the airport

Stuttgart Airport is easily accessible via the A8 (junction 53) or the B27. If you follow the signs for ‘Arrivals’ or ‘Departures’, you will be taken directly to the car parks and multi-storey car parks at the airport. There is a charge for parking. Good to know – the airport is located outside the low-emission zone. If you’re travelling via Stuttgart, it’s worth checking out the neighbouring towns.

Dropping off and picking up in front of the terminal

Dropping off or picking up travellers? No problem – short-stay areas are available on the departures and arrivals levels at Stuttgart Airport. In the Kiss & Fly and Kiss & Ride zones, you can stop for up to 8 minutes free of charge – ideal for a quick and convenient drop-off or pick-up right outside the terminal. 

Access is via automatic barriers or by using a ticket, ensuring everything runs smoothly. A charge applies for longer stays (see below for further information).

If you need a little more time, you can park for up to 1 hour free of charge in the nearby P0 car park.

How Kiss & Fly (departures) works

Just drive in – no ticket required

The barrier opens automatically. The number plate is captured by a camera as this happens.

Hold for up to 8 minutes free of charge

Anyone who leaves within the free parking time limit will pass through the barrier automatically – without having to pay at all.

Staying on site for more than 8 minutes?

If the free parking time is exceeded, a charge will apply. Payment is made directly at the barrier – conveniently by debit or credit card.
