Travelling abroad can be a stressful experience, with strict schedules and security checks adding to the tension. However, a little-known hack offered by some airlines could significantly reduce your stress on the day of your flight. For those in the know, this genius time-saving trick allows you to breeze through the airport without a worry.
Selected airlines offer a twilight bag drop service, which means you can arrive at the airport the night before your flight and check in your bulky bags. This leaves you unburdened and stress-free the following morning. With your bags already checked in, all you need to do is check in for the flight online the night before, then breeze through security on the morning of your flight.
Not all airlines offer this service, so here's a list of those that do, and where they offer it, reports the Mirror . Ryanair offers this service for flights departing before 8am from Manchester or Edinburgh airports. The twilight bag drop is open from 7pm to 10pm the night before.
If you want to use this service across any of these airlines, make sure you arrive at the airport not only with your bags but also with your boarding pass and passports. This will ensure you have everything you need to check your bags in. If you're jetting off with easyJet from London City, Bristol, Berlin, Manchester, Edinburgh, Amsterdam, Glasgow or Belfast, the twilight bag drop service is available between 4pm and 9pm.
However, do verify the exact timings at your specific depar.
