Due to the major increase in volume of traffic, Belgrade Airport, part of the VINCI Airports, advises passengers to adhere to the travel recommendations in order to make their stay at the airport and their trip more comfortable and efficient.
Check all travel requirements to your destination, secure the necessary documentation and regularly check the latest information about your flight. Considering the period of increased traffic, plan enough time to arrive at the airport. It is recommended to be at the airport no later than two and a half hours before the scheduled departure.
We ask passengers to make good preparation before the trip, while the airport teams will take care of your comfort. We advise a few of the most important steps in preparing for the trip:
1. Choose the appropriate car park
Due to the improvement and expansion of airport car parks, we advise you to choose a car park suitable to your needs in advance. Six modern car parks are at your disposal as well as the Kiss & Fly area alongside the terminal for quick exit from vehicles. For longer stays, we recommend Tesla parking P11. For more information on available car parks please visit our website.
2. Prepare travel documents for passport control
For faster passport control, prepare your travel documents and plane ticket before accessing passport control. The departure area is now equipped with 16 passport control counters used by the border police, while the number of counters at the arrivals has increased to 13. Since the end of last year, all adult travellers departing or arriving to Belgrade have the option of automated boarding control. For more information please visit our website.
For passengers who want to save time and enjoy every moment at the airport, without rush or waiting in queue, Fast lane service is available.

The total amount of liquid allowed in hand baggage is 1 l per passenger, while liquids in packages exceeding 100 ml are allowed in hand baggage only for medical purposes and in the form of food for children. During your stay at the airport, please pay attention and do not leave your luggage unattended.

In case of delayed or lost baggage, please contact delayed luggage counter located in the baggage reclaim area and fill out the report. Our partners, the ground handling agents operating at our airport are responsible for handling of baggage.
