Heading to a dreamy vacation this Pentecost? Stuttgart Airport is bracing for a whopper of a travel rush! From this coming Friday to June 22nd, a grand total of 4,329 flights are scheduled, which, if you're keeping track, is quite the leap from the Easter travel trend. The busiest day is set to be Friday, with a whopping 283 takeoffs and landings. In terms of seating, around 720,000 are up for grabs during the two holiday weeks.

If you're eyeing sunny shores, Turkey and Mallorca are the hotspots. Antalya, with 327 flight movements, is a frontrunner for travelers, followed closely by Istanbul (292 flights) and Palma de Mallorca (286 flights). Summer staples like Heraklion, Barcelona, and Hurghada are also on high alert for travelers! Adding to the excitement, several new flight destinations in Turkey and the Mediterranean region are slated to commence with the arrival of Pentecost.

Be sure to leave extra time for your journey to the airport and your stay there on departure day, according to the airport's wise advice. Check-in counters will open as early as 3:45 AM during the summer season, and online check-ins with baggage drop machines are an option too!

To keep those waiting times to a minimum, it's best to arrive at the airport at least two hours before departure, but not more than three. Early morning and afternoon hours might see some queues at security controls. Pro tip: Reserve a security check time slot for free—the booking can be done via the website up to 72 hours before departure, for up to five persons.
