EasyJet has confirmed a little-known service allowing passengers on early morning flights to drop their bags the evening before, free of charge, at eight UK airports including Birmingham. The Twilight Bag Drop service operates between 4pm and 8pm (1600-2000) the day before departure for flights leaving before 9am.
How the Twilight Bag Drop Works
Customers using the service can skip the bag drop queue on their travel day and head straight to security. Additionally, they receive discounted parking for one hour in the airport’s Premium Set Down car park by presenting their bag drop receipt on exit. EasyJet already offers special assistance, self-service bag drop, and generous family luggage options.
Full List of Airports
The service is now available at eight UK airports: London Gatwick, London Luton, Bristol, Manchester, Edinburgh, Glasgow, Belfast, and Birmingham. The airline faces competition from Jet2, Ryanair, Wizz Air, and British Airways.
Statement from EasyJet
Kevin Doyle, easyJet’s UK Country Manager, said: “We are always looking for new ways to make travel as easy as possible, so we are really pleased to be introducing our free Twilight Bag Drop service for our customers flying from Birmingham Airport. As families head off on their next holiday or are planning one to look forward to, whether that’s hitting the slopes, soaking up some winter sun or a fun-filled half-term or Easter break, we remain focused on offering greater choice and exceptional value across our unrivalled short-haul network, always aiming to make travel easy.”
Benefits for Passengers
This service is particularly beneficial for families and those with early morning departures, reducing stress and saving time. The free bag drop and discounted parking add value to the travel experience.
