Question

Do airports allow you to store your luggage somewhere during layovers so you can leave the airport?

Answer 1

I have never seen an airport that does...that is a huge risk for them with today's security concerns.  One option might be to take your luggage to the city's train station.  Most train stations have lockers.

Answer 2

Sometimes the ailines have "lounges" and might keep your luggage but I think you have to be first class passenger.

Answer 3

in the us, they don't have the service anymore due to security reasons but in europe you can do it. check the airports homepage and you should find more information there.

Answer 4

Europe is different. US airports dont allow "left luggage" facility, however, all major airports and central stations in Europe offer that facilty. It is very convenient and not very expensive. I have personally used such services at London Heathrow, Amsterdam, Frankfurt, Dusseldorf etc. Best way to find out will be to go to the airline web site and look for left luggage facility, For Germany go to lufthansa and so on
