How to travel around Guernsey by air

What to expect when flying between cities or connecting after an international arrival.

Flying between cities in Guernsey

  • Confirm the specific ticket for Guernsey–Alderney air travel
    Alderney’s tourism authority lists an Aurigny air connection directly from Guernsey to Alderney. For travel between those islands, check your date, airports and actual operating carrier rather than classifying a sector via the UK or Jersey as the same domestic flight.

Arriving from another country

  • Ask Guernsey Airport Information about aircraft and terminal lost property
    Guernsey Airport says items left on aircraft or in the terminal are handed to its Information Desk. If a personal item was left behind, enquire with flight and location details; this is not a checked-baggage claim or confirmation that the item has been found.

Guernsey flight and airport FAQs

Does clearing Guernsey security mean a bag meets every airline’s allowance?

Do not assume so. The airport notes that each airline has its own hold and hand-baggage restrictions; check your ticket.
