easyJet introduces home luggage collection service from Edinburgh Airport.

easyJet passengers travelling through Edinburgh Airport can now check in their luggage from home thanks to a new service.

The service allows customers to have their bags collected from their home, office or hotel and checked in ahead of their flight, meaning they can head straight to security.

It’s the first service of its kind at a Scottish airport, which is in collaboration with easyJet and Airportr.

The airline offers a similar luggage collection, delivery and door-to-flight service with Airportr at London Gatwick and Geneva, allowing passengers to travel to the airport baggage free before collecting their luggage at their destination.

The paid service will be available to easyJet customers at Edinburgh Airport and can be booked via the Airportr website: https://airportr.com/ (Opens in a new tab)

Peter Barnes, Chief Operating Officer at Edinburgh Airport, said:

"We’re always looking at ways to make travel easier for our passengers, and this new service from easyJet and Airportr does exactly that.

"Being the first airport in Scotland to offer home luggage collection gives passengers even more choice and convenience, particularly during the busy summer period when many people are heading away on holiday."

Kevin Doyle, easyJet’s UK Country Manager, said:

"Making travel as easy as possible for our customers is at the heart of everything we do, which is why we're really pleased to be introducing Airportr's services for our customers flying from Edinburgh Airport. With the summer holidays now underway, we want to make the journey as smooth as possible for our customers whether they're travelling for business or leisure."

Ultan O'Brien, Airportr’s Chief Revenue Officer, added:

“Our ongoing, successful partnership with easyJet has demonstrated that door-to-flight and flight-to-door baggage service provides passengers with a level of convenience and peace of mind they find highly desirable as a part of their travel experience. Extending those benefits to easyJet customers flying from Edinburgh Airport increases the value of our service across easyJet’s network, and is just the latest in what we expect to be many more exciting expansions in years to come.”
