Getting to Luxembourg-Findel Airport
Parking at Findel Airport
Findel Airport offers several parking options for the convenience of its travelers.
- Kiss & Fly Parking (C): Ideal for dropping off passengers as it is located right in front of the terminal. Free for the first 15 minutes; rates increase rapidly. So don’t park there for longer periods!
- Covered parking lots (A and B): Close to the terminal (2-minute walk), ideal for short-term parking. The minimum parking duration is 24 hours.
- Outdoor parking lots (F, G, K, E, L, M): Cheaper, but often full. The uncovered parking lots F, G, and K are located 5 minutes from the airport. They are often full because they are used by employees of the office buildings adjacent to the airport. The uncovered parking lot E is located a 10-minute walk from the airport on the other side of Rue de Trêves. The minimum parking duration is 24 hours.
- Parking lots with shuttle service (M and L): An economical solution for long-term parking. The uncovered parking lots M and L offer low-cost parking for a minimum stay of 3 days.
We recommend booking your parking spot on the luxairport.lu website at the same time you book your flight. This will help you avoid the unpleasant surprise of finding the parking lots full during peak travel periods for long weekends or Luxembourg holidays.
Please note: the Héienhaff P+R, located near the airport, is not intended for airport travelers. While free for the first 24 hours, the rates charged beyond that are prohibitively high for longer stays.
