It is also a good idea to bring a charger for your smartphone. Sockets (green energy) are available at the airport.

On certain flights, you can register with Biometric Experience before departure, a complementary service to MONA, available on selected flights departing from Lyon*, allowing you to pass through checkpoints with your documents safely stowed away, and benefit from a dedicated queue.

5. Report for security checks

Prepare for security checks in advance.

We recommend that you remove your laptop and tablet or other electronic devices from your carry-on baggage to be inspected separately. Coats, jackets and belts should also be removed.

Present your liquids separately

Remember that you can only take liquids on the plane in individual containers with a maximum capacity of 100 ml.

Remember to remove these items from your carry-on luggage and place them in a clear, resealable plastic bag with a maximum capacity of one liter per passenger.
