What travellers should know
For visitors, the main thing to expect at Sankt Gallen Altenrhein Airport is convenience rather than the wide range of services found at major international airports. Its lighted asphalt runway supports regular operations, while the additional grass runway reflects the airport’s smaller regional character. Because airport facilities and schedules can change by season or operator, it is wise to confirm flight details, ground transport, and on-site services before leaving for the airport. The most reliable starting point for current information is the official airport website at https://www.peoples.ch/lszr, especially if you are planning an early departure, an arrival connection, or a pick-up.
