Barrier-free travel
Dresden Airport is designed so that disabled people can move around without any difficulty. Toilets, lifts, phones, shops and eateries all have easy access.
Passengers with restricted mobility or a disability can obtain support from the PRM service provided by the airport fire brigade. The support service, which provides assistance for incapacitated people on behalf of the airlines, helps them on the way to and from the aircraft, when checking in their luggage and for passport and customs checks.
Please inform your airline or your travel agent when you make your booking that you would like to use the support service at Dresden Airport.

Multi-storey car park / P3 car park

Free services
The following services are free of charge if you:

Departing

- when handing in your luggage and checking in;
- during security and passport checks;
- when making your way to the gate and preferential boarding on the plane.
If you would like to take your electric wheelchair with you, it must be stored in the hold as bulky luggage. It is therefore necessary for you to change into a folding wheelchair for the journey to the gate. You will then board the plane in a special wheelchair.
If you arrive in a manual wheelchair, change into the special wheelchair just before you board the plane. Your wheelchair will then be stowed in the cargo hold.
