About Luxair

Luxair is the national airline of the Grand Duchy, flying from Findel airport to European business cities and holiday destinations around the Mediterranean. Its sister tour operator sells package holidays. This guide covers power bank rules, check-in at Luxembourg, free public transport and how it compares with Lufthansa and easyJet.

Founded in 1961, it flies Boeing 737s and De Havilland Dash 8-400 turboprops and is one of the few airlines to fly from a small capital with a strong business market.

Power Bank Rules on Luxair

New international (ICAO) rules apply from 27 March 2026, and European airlines follow them:

  • Each passenger can carry up to two power banks, in cabin baggage only, never in checked bags.
  • Power banks cannot be charged on board, and you cannot use them to charge phones or other devices during the flight.
  • Up to 100 Wh needs no approval; 100–160 Wh needs approval from the airline. Keep them within reach, not in the overhead bin.

Check-In at Luxembourg

Luxembourg Findel is small and quick to get through. Online check-in opens 24 hours before departure, and arriving 90 minutes before European flights is usually enough.

Families and Special Assistance

Infants under two travel on an adult’s lap, and pushchairs and car seats can usually be checked in free. Request wheelchairs and other special assistance at least 48 hours before the flight.

Free Public Transport in Luxembourg

Luxembourg makes getting around easy:

  • Buses, trams and trains are free for everyone across the country.
  • The tram links the airport with Kirchberg and the city centre.
  • Day trips to France, Belgium and Germany are easy by train.
