  - label: Transport
    title: Ride free — tram or bus 16/29
    detail: >-
      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.
    summary: Europe’s best airport-to-city deal — free door-to-city public transport.
    category: timing
  - label: Security
    title: Classic 100 ml rules still apply
    detail: >-
      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.
    summary: Pack the old LAG bag — LUX is not a CT liquids-in-bag airport yet.

  - label: Food
    title: Landside Oberweis before you clear security
    detail: >-
      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.
    summary: Best-value snack run is landside Oberweis / Starbucks before screening.

      for €35/€45 at booking; Business / LuxairTours Excellence / Miles & More

      Only passenger lounge at Findel, airside immediately after security in
      Terminal A. Hot/cold buffet, local wines/beers, Wi-Fi, newspapers; no
      showers. Capacity-limited at bank peaks. Saturday early close at 18:00 is
      the main gotcha for evening leisure departures.
