Flights to and from the United Kingdom are subject to different rules than other flights within the Schengen area. Below you will find the most important information.

TRAVEL DOCUMENTS

All passengers must present a valid passport to fly to/from London.

CHECK-IN

Check-in for flights to and from London starts earlier than for other destinations.

• At Bolzano Airport: from 3 hours before departure until 45 minutes before departure.
• At London Stansted Airport: from 2 hours 15 minutes before departure to 60 minutes before departure.

TRAIN TO THE GATE

At London Stansted Airport, a train will take you to your gate. The train runs at regular intervals. Please allow sufficient time to reach your gate on time and without stress. 

ANIMALS ON BOARD

SkyAlps is not yet a UK government certified airline for the transport of pets. Therefore, until further notice, it is not possible to transport pets on flights to and from London, with the exception of certified assistance dogs with appropriate documentation.

VAT REFUND

If you wish to reclaim VAT on goods you are importing into the UK, please report to Bolzano Airport in advance as there is only one customs office and there may be queues.

For EU citizens travelling within the Schengen Area, the only two authorised identification documents are the passport or an ID card valid for international journeys. The same rules apply to minors, including infants.

For travel outside the European Union, however, it is necessary to show a passport and any visa required by the country of destination. Minors also need their own passport, issued by the police headquarters in their city.

Non-EU citizens wishing to travel within and outside Europe must have a passport and visa.

SkyAlps offers you a choice: check-in online or check-in at the airport.

You can check in online from 48 hours to 4 hours before departure and download your boarding pass directly on your mobile devices. At the airport, you only have to hand in your checked baggage at the check-in desk. Please note: if you have booked a special service, you must compulsorily check in at the airport.

You can check in at the airport for free. The check-in desk at the airport opens 2 hours before departure and closes 45 minutes before your flight. You only need to present your identification document.

Yes, you can choose your own seat, but with restrictions: all seats can be selected, excluding those in rows from 1 to 5.

You can choose your seat for free directly during the booking process, while checking in online, or you can ask at the check-in counter at the airport for a specific seat you particularly like.
