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.

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.
