Girona Airport – Live Departures
Girona Airport Departures Information
There are two ways to check in for Girona Airport departures: at your airline’s check-in desk or online in advance. If you decide to check in at the airport, you’ll need to present the correct travel documents (non-Schengen flight passengers) and drop your luggage off as well.
To find your check-in desk, you can check the screens in the terminal or our live Girona Airport Departures board.
Alternatively, many airlines provide online check-in options via the mobile app or official website, up to 24 hours before departure.
