Main Airports in Luxembourg

We’ve alluded to “Luxembourg Airport” several times throughout this article. It’s a phrase that wouldn’t work for most other countries, as saying “UK airport” is as vague as you can get in a country with over 40 major airports. But we’re not being vague or generic—there is only one international airport in Luxembourg and it is actually called Luxembourg Airport.

Luxembourg Airport uses the IATA code “LUX”. It is located in the village of Findel, which has a popular of just over 100 (one that is greatly inflated by the 4.4 million+ passengers that pass through Luxembourg Airport every year). Formerly known as Luxembourg Findel Airport and Sandweiler Airport before that (Findel sits in the Sandweiler region), it’s the headquarters of Luxair and flies to routes across Europe.

After your Luxembourg flight—after landing

You need to pass through passport control after you land. Fortunately, Luxembourg Airport is very modern and high-tech airport. It installed a series of automated border controls back in 2018 and has generally done its best to keep up with modern technology. Also, while the airport is busy for a small country, it’s not busy when compared to the likes of London Heathrow or Charles de Gaulle, so you shouldn’t need to deal with long queues.

If you don’t have any Euros, consider changing some at the airport before you leave. You can also simply keep a Visa, Mastercard, or Maestro card with you as these should be accepted in most locations. Many (but not all) shops also accept American Express.

As for how you get from the airport to your accommodation and how you travel the city in general, well, that’s the best thing about Luxembourg as everything is free. Public transport has been free here since 2020. You’ll notice that there are a huge number of cars on the road—if you don’t see them cruising past you then you’ll almost certainly see them parked along the paths or stuck in gridlock.

The government made public transportation free in the hope that it would convince residents to leave their vehicles at home, thus reducing carbon emissions. There are still a lot of cars on the road, and it remains to be seen just how effective it has been, but there are certainly a lot of takers.

There are still paid first-class options on Luxembourg trans, but you don’t need to take these options. Just hop on and off the trains and buses as needed. You don’t even need to pick up a ticket.

Of course, there are different rules for trains that leave Luxembourg, as well as the ones that come into the country. You will need a ticket for those, but you can buy tickets for all travel to Luxembourg through Omio, including international trains.
