To access them, you must present a passport, boarding pass, and a health certificate issued free of charge at the airport medical centre (level 2).

In addition, you can find children's play areas in the boarding zone and request the use of free baby strollers at the check-in counters to use them until the moment you board the aircraft.

Travelling with Pets

If you are travelling with animals, it is mandatory to pass through the official veterinary control located on the second level of Terminal A. You must present the international veterinary passport and comply with vaccination and microchip requirements depending on the destination. Guide dogs may travel free of charge in the cabin, provided they have documentation confirming their role and that they wear a muzzle and leash within the terminal.
