Luxembourg Airport

Luxembourg City, Luxembourg · Europe

Tiny country’s only international airport punches above its weight: free tram and buses to the city, a compact A/B terminal, and one solid Priority Pass lounge — still stuck on classic 100 ml security.

Most important tips

Know before you go

A compact traveler cheat sheet for timing, terminals, food, and disruption checks.

Transport

Ride free — tram or bus 16/29

Europe’s best airport-to-city deal — free door-to-city public transport.

Since March 2020 all public transport in Luxembourg is free (except 1st-class rail). Tram line T1 terminates at Findel-Luxembourg Airport since 2 March 2025 (~every 8 min daytime). Buses 16 and 29 also reach Gare Centrale / city every 10–15 minutes. No ticket, no app — just board.

Security

Classic 100 ml rules still apply

Pack the old LAG bag — LUX is not a CT liquids-in-bag airport yet.

Official lux-Airport security pages still require LAG containers ≤100 ml in one transparent resealable 1 L bag; laptops and large electronics out of the bag. No published CT liquids waiver. Soft cheese, foie gras, marzipan and similar pastes are treated as liquids and often confiscated in cabin bags.

Food

Landside Oberweis before you clear security

Best-value snack run is landside Oberweis / Starbucks before screening.

Oberweis pastry shop in the departures hall is the local treat stop (pastries, chocolates, snacks). Landside also has Starbucks (ground floor public area) and Sandwiches & Cie in arrivals. Airside: Aelia walk-through duty free, Panopolis / Moselier (Schengen), Petit Moselier (non-Schengen), Lux Brewery Lounge in Terminal B.

Lounge

The Lounge — Priority Pass, early Sat close

Only lounge; useless after 18:00 on Saturdays and often full at peaks.

Sole airside lounge, just after security (Terminal A). Official hours Mon–Fri and Sun 04:00–21:00; Saturday 04:00–18:00. Priority Pass max stay 4 hours (children under 2 free on PP). Luxair Flex/Smart can add lounge for €35/€45 at booking; Business / LuxairTours Excellence / Miles & More HON/Senator free per Luxair rules.
