Questions, answered

The three things travellers ask first.

  • Security

    Do my bags still go through screening?

    Yes. EU rules apply: your checked bags are screened at Madrid-Barajas like any other checked bag, and you still go through passenger security.

  • Custody

    What if something goes wrong?

    Drop&Fly is responsible for your bag from drop-off until it’s handed to your airline. From that point, your airline’s standard baggage protection applies.

  • Cabin bag

    Can I drop my cabin bag too?

    Yes, for free. Keep valuables, medicines, travel documents and electronics with you.
