Preparation Tips for Stress-Free Air Travel during Holidays, According to Federal Police

As the summer holidays approach, Hannover Airport is gearing up for an increase in passengers. The Federal Police Inspectorate Airport Hannover has issued some guidelines to ensure a smooth and efficient journey for all travelers.

The Federal Police recommends presenting oneself directly at the security checkpoint after check-in. To expedite the process, travelers are advised to place jackets, headgear, and electronic devices separately in baggage trays. Carrying less hand luggage can also help speed things up.

For those who prefer a more convenient approach, the "SmartDepart" app is available. This app can help manage your time at the airport more efficiently.

Remember, certain items are not allowed in hand luggage. Firearms, pepper sprays, knives with a blade length of over six centimeters, and certain objects like power tools, screwdrivers, baseball bats, or razor blades are prohibited. Larger perfume or drink bottles should be packed in checked baggage, even if partially used or containing less than 100 ml. If transporting medication or baby food, speak to the security personnel directly. If medication, have a doctor's note ready if available.

Containers of liquids, gels, and aerosols in hand luggage must not exceed a volume of 100 ml each and be stored in a transparent, reclosable bag with a capacity of no more than 1 litre.

Preparing thoroughly for security checks and border controls is highly recommended. Travelers are advised to have their identification documents ready for border control. It's important to check the validity and completeness of identification documents before the trip to avoid delays or trip interruptions at border control.
