Check-in

If you check in on the airline's website or app, you immediately receive your digital boarding pass, So you just have to check in your luggage on the day of travel -  either at the airline counter or, depending on the airline, you can also use the Self Bag Drop. Did you use the Late Night Check-in the evening before or do you travel only with hand luggage? Then you can proceed to the security control after your arrival at the airport.

Check-in options at the airport

Checking in at the counter

In order to make the processes at the airport as smooth as possible, you should do the passenger check-in online. This is usually possible from 72 hours before departure. All you have to do at the airport is check in your luggage at the airline counter. The airlines also offer passenger check-in at the counter, but sometimes charge a service fee for this. Check with the airline about the options you have.

Check-in kiosks

You will find current flight information on large screens in the terminal. The check-in counters for your flight are also displayed here. You may find check-in counters also on our page Departures.

Some airlines offer check-in at dedicated kiosks in the terminal and baggage drop-off at the airline counter or at self bag drop.

The self-service points for baggage check-in are being further expanded at Düsseldorf Airport. More and more airlines will switch to baggage check-in at self service kiosks. Here we will keep you informed about the current status.

Self bag drop step by step

  • Check with your airline if you can use self-service for your flight.
  • Step 1: Scan your boarding pass at the tag kiosk, print out the baggage tag and attach it to the suitcase. Don't have a boarding pass yet? Then use one of the check-in kiosks for boarding passes and baggage labels.
  • Step 2: The drop-off counters (counters 111-120) are very close to the check-in kiosks. Place your suitcases on the belt. The baggage drop-off for Eurowings passengers is at the airline counter (counters 154-170).
  • Please check in bulky or extra baggage at the bulky baggage counter or airline counter.

Any questions?

Place the bag tag around the handle so that the printed area is on the outside and stick the ends of the label together.
Your receipt will be printed after the baggage drop-off. It is required in case of lost or damaged baggage. Keep the receipt with your travel documents.
Place your suitcase in the middle of the belt. The baggage tag has to face up. Also make sure that the suitcase is not placed on its wheels.
Setting up self-service stations involves construction work in the check-in areas. Since it has to be carried out at Düsseldorf Airport during ongoing operations, the changing process can only be realized step by step.

Late Night Check-in

Checking in the evening before

For flights departing the following day up to 12 a.m., some airlines offer late night check-in between 6 p.m. and 8 p.m. on the evening before. Check with your airline if you can use this service.

Eurowings passengers can use the self-service stations on the departure level for the Late Night Check-in.

Each passenger has to be present for Late Night Check-in due to official security regulations. This does not apply to families and married couples. In this case it is sufficient for one family member to check-in for the other passengers. You need the complete travel documents of all passengers, such as tickets and passports (where necessary with visas), as well as the baggage of all passengers.

Late night check-in: Please note!

  • Passengers are requested to remain in the terminal for approximately 15 minutes after check-in until their suitcases have completed the multi-stage baggage checks.
  • Depending on your airline, Late Night Check-in may be subject to charges. Please consult your travel agent or airline in advance. 
  • Check with your airline or tour operator how long before departure you should be at the airport on the day of travel.
