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 (A and B): Close to the terminal (2-minute walk), ideal for short stays. The minimum parking time 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 E parking lot is located a 10-minute walk from the airport on the other side of Rue de Trêves. The minimum parking time 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 of 3 days.
We recommend that you reserve your parking space on the luxairport.lu website at the same time as you book your flight. This will help you avoid any unpleasant surprises when parking lots are full during busy periods, such as long weekends or Luxembourg holidays.
Please note that the P+R Héienhaff, available near the airport , is not intended for airport travelers. Free for 24 hours, the rates charged beyond that are clearly prohibitive for longer stays.
