Seville Airport
Passenger terminal
Seville Airport has a single passenger terminal for both domestic and international flights, which makes it easy to get around. Everything is located within the same building, so distances are short and the process is straightforward.
The current terminal building, completed in 1992 for the Universal Exposition, was designed with inspiration from traditional Sevillian architecture. Its design reflects three key elements: the mosque, the palace and the orange tree courtyard, with the surrounding orange grove completing the overall concept.

Departures from Seville Airport
Boarding area: Departures Hall, level 1.
All departures take place on Level 1. On this level you will find the check-in counters, including desks for special or oversized baggage, as well as check-in desks for Ryanair, Vueling and other airlines. Ryanair also has a ticket office here.
Arrive at the airport with plenty of time to avoid any issues. For Schengen flights, it is recommended to arrive 1.5-2 hours before departure, and around 3 hours for non-Schengen destinations. Non-EU passengers may experience additional passport control processing under the EU Entry/Exit System (EES), so extra time is advisable.
Check-in
Check-in counters are located in the Departures Hall. There are 35 desks divided into three areas, plus one counter for oversized or special baggage. Most airlines offer online check-in, allowing you to receive your boarding pass on your phone or print it in advance.
If you are travelling with hand luggage only you can go straight to security without passing through check-in. Make sure you have your boarding pass ready, as some airlines may charge a fee if it needs to be reissued at the airport.
Important: From Tuesday 10 November 2026, Ryanair check-in and bag drop will close 60 minutes before departure, instead of 40 minutes. The change is intended to give passengers more time for security, passport control and reaching the gate, helping reduce missed flights caused by airport queues.
Security and boarding
After check-in, you will need to go through the security checkpoint to access the boarding area.
The boarding area has 19 gates. Some flights board directly via jet bridges, while others use buses to reach the aircraft. Depending on your destination, you may also need to show your passport or ID again before boarding.
Boarding gates
Gates A1-A2, A3-A4, A5-A6.
Gates B11, B12, B13, B14, B15-B16, B17, B18-C21.

Entry/Exit System (EES) notice
Non-EU travellers may be subject to the EU’s Entry/Exit System (EES), which records entries and exits digitally and may require fingerprint and facial biometric registration. This process may increase waiting times at passport control, so passengers on non-Schengen flights should allow extra time
