Arriving at the airport

If Leipzig/Halle Airport is a stopover for your flight, the airline or handling company staff will lead you into the transit lounge where you may wait for your connecting flight.

If you are travelling from a non-Schengen state, you need to go to the passport check in the arrivals hall. Afterwards you may reclaim your luggage. The displays above the conveyor belts indicate the flight number and the origin of the flight to assist you in finding your luggage. If necessary, you then head to the customs check, after which you will directly get to the arrivals area of Terminal B.

You will find information on the Schengen Agreement and a list of its members on the website of the Federal Foreign Office.

If you cannot find your luggage or it has been damaged, please ask at the handling company’s baggage tracing desk in the arrival hall.

Please remember to inform the person meeting you at the airport about:

• which airline you are travelling with,
• the origin of your flight,
• the date (please note time lags) and
• the time of arrival.

This will ensure that you can easily find the person picking you up in the arrivals area.

• on the internet under live arrivals,
• on the displays in Terminal B,
• on the MDR television teletext pages 715 and 716
• or at the airport information. Our staff will gladly inform you personally or call +49 341 224 1155.

Maps of the terminals are available on our website in the section getting around the airport.
