Luxembourg Airport Terminals
Luxembourg Airport has two passenger terminals: Terminal A and Terminal B.
Terminal A
Terminal A is the main passenger terminal and contains the principal passenger-processing facilities, including check-in and arrivals functions. The current Terminal A was inaugurated in 2008 after a major redevelopment.
It is the terminal passengers will generally use for:
- Check-in
- Security screening
- Departures
- Arrivals
- Baggage collection
- Passenger services
- Airport shops and food outlets
Terminal B
Terminal B is a smaller satellite-style passenger facility. Unlike a conventional full-service terminal, Terminal B was designed primarily around boarding gates and does not have its own conventional check-in counters or arrivals hall. It was originally designed for smaller aircraft and was subsequently adapted for larger aircraft and increased passenger capacity.
Practical tip: If your boarding pass says Terminal B, complete the necessary check-in and security procedures through the main passenger facilities before proceeding to the relevant gate area.

If you have lost an item at Luxembourg Airport, the appropriate procedure depends on where you lost it.
Item left on an aircraft: contact the relevant airline or use the airport’s listed contact +352 2456 5003 for items left on the plane.
