Heimtextil 2027: plan flights, hotel stops and exhibition transfers

Put the official event times into your itinerary

The organiser lists visitor hours of 09:00–18:00 on 12–14 January and 09:00–17:00 on 15 January 2027. Check the official planning page again before booking, including any conditions attached to your ticket. Exhibitor access arrangements should be checked separately.

Your transport schedule should reflect your own appointments. A first meeting shortly after opening requires time for entry and walking; leaving at closing may still leave a substantial walk to your agreed pickup location. Do not use the fair’s opening time as your vehicle arrival time.

Choose a sensible first-day plan

For an airport arrival, write down your flight date, flight number, reachable mobile number and luggage. Then decide whether your first destination is the hotel or the exhibition grounds. If you need the hotel to hold bags, confirm that arrangement directly with the hotel.

Share the correct venue entrance from Heimtextil’s current visitor information. Keep stand numbers and the hall plan available for your own navigation after arrival. An invitation to an appointment is not a transfer booking, and an enquiry to a transport company is not a confirmed vehicle.

Give each traveller a clear journey plan

For colleagues arriving separately, use a short journey list: traveller or group contact, flight/date, destination, passenger count, luggage and requested pickup. Mark which journeys are one-way and which need a return. Keep hotel-to-venue requests distinct from airport journeys.

State bulky bags or sample cases explicitly. Passenger seats do not establish luggage capacity. Ask whether the proposed arrangement fits the complete group and bags, and request an individual quotation for nine or more travellers. Do not assume a spare seat means space for another large case.

Plan the final day around your return flight

Friday’s earlier closing time does not determine when you should leave. Start from your airline’s airport and check-in requirements, then allow for leaving your stand or meeting, collecting luggage, reaching the pickup point and travelling. Confirm any hotel stop before agreeing the collection time.

Keep the organiser’s event information and the transport confirmation separately. If the flight, hotel or meeting changes, send an updated itinerary and obtain confirmation of the revised journey. For general entrance and transport choices, use our airport-to-Messe planning guide.
