easyJet to offer Twilight bag drop at Edinburgh Airport

Passengers flying with easyJet from Edinburgh Airport will now be able to drop their bags the day before their flight as the airline introduces its Twilight Bag Drop service.

The free service offers airline passengers on early morning flights the ability to come to the airport the night before to check in bags, meaning they can head straight to security on the day of travel.

Twilight Bag Drop will be available to all easyJet customers on flights departing before 1200, and bags can be dropped between 1600-2100 the day before they fly.

Adam Wilson, Chief Operating Officer at Edinburgh Airport said:

“Providing options for passengers is a key strand to our overall offering to make the journey through the airport as smooth and efficient as possible – that’s a view shared by our partners at easyJet and it’s been great to work closely with them to bring the Twilight service into operation.

“We know a lot of customers will welcome the ability to check-in bags the night before their flight, meaning they can arrive at the airport in the morning, head straight to security and start their trip that little bit quicker.”

Ali Gayward, easyJet's UK Country Manager, commented:

“We are always looking for ways to make travel even easier for our customers, so we are really pleased to be introducing our free Twilight Bag Drop service at Edinburgh from today. We know the service is already very popular with our customers flying from London Gatwick, Bristol and Manchester and by introducing this in time for Easter, thousands of families set to fly with us on their holidays from Scotland can now benefit by dropping their bags with us at airport the night before, for a quicker and easier journey.”
