Check-In
Passengers are recommended to refer to the table below, indicating when they should be at the terminal building before take-off, to provide themselves with sufficient time to pass through the security checks and allow them to reach their departure gate in enough time. These indications are general, which means that during peak hours, longer waiting times may be required at the security checks. Therefore, the airport cannot give any guarantee and assume no liability that the observance of the stated times ensures reaching the flight in all cases. Therefore EAP advises travelers to generally arrive at the airport terminal early enough and immediately proceed to the security checkpoints after the check-in.
If passengers have already checked in for their flight (the evening before or via the internet) and have no luggage to register, they are advised to arrive at the airport 90 minutes before the scheduled departure.
In case travelers are required to check-in at the airport (at the desk or an automatic check-in machine) or have luggage to register at least two hours before departure. After arriving at EAP, commuters should proceed directly to the check-in counter/machine and then immediately to the security checks.
