Most important tips

Know before you go

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

Timing

Check-in opens 2 hours before departure

Check-in opens at 2 h; Ryanair desks close at 60 min from 10 Nov 2026.

The airport says check-in opens two hours before departure. From 10 November 2026, Ryanair check-in and bag-drop desks close 60 minutes before departure instead of 40, including on the London and Málaga flights. The terminal is small, but flights and charters leave in waves, so allow time if you have a bag to drop.

Terminal

Gates A downstairs, Gates B upstairs

Gates A on the ground floor, Gates B on the first floor.

The departure terminal, opened in 2006, has check-in and security on the ground floor. Gate A, with the FlyPoint Shop and a bar, is on the same floor. Gate B, with duty free, a bar and the Business Lounge, is on the first floor. Arrivals use the older building next door, and the railway station is a short walk from the departure hall.

Food

Small cafés and a 24/7 self-service shop

Few outlets, mostly open around flights; COOP shop is 24/7.

Landside there is Flypoint Coffee in the public hall and Bistro Gastro Flight in the connecting corridor. A COOP Beskydy self-service shop is open 24/7; you enter and pay through its app, by card only. Airside there are bars at Gates A and B, the FlyPoint Shop at Gate A and Aelia Duty Free at Gate B. Most outlets open according to the flight schedule.

Status

Priority Pass lounge at Gate B

Priority Pass, LoungeKey and DragonPass accepted; otherwise from CZK 649.

The Business Lounge is on the first floor after security, near the Gate B departures. Priority Pass, LoungeKey and DragonPass are accepted. Without a membership, entry costs from CZK 649; book by email or phone, or buy at the Information desk if there is space. Opening follows the flight schedule.
