Can you check in bags the night before a flight with Easyjet?

Check-in online or via our mobile app before you arrive at the airport. The evening before your flight, take your bags to the airport and drop them at the easyJet Bag Drop area. Don't forget to bring your boarding passes and passports.



Yes, Easyjet offers a "Twilight Bag Drop" service at eight major UK airports in 2026, allowing passengers on early morning flights to check their luggage the evening before departure at no extra cost. This service is available at London Gatwick, London Luton, Bristol, Manchester, Edinburgh, Glasgow, Belfast, and Birmingham. The drop-off window typically opens between 4:00 PM and 8:00 PM and closes between 8:00 PM and 10:00 PM, depending on the specific airport's rules and the flight's scheduled departure time (usually those leaving before 8:30 AM or 9:00 AM). To use the service, passengers must have already completed their online check-in and must bring their passport and boarding pass to the bag drop zone. This allows travelers to skip the long check-in queues on the day of their flight and proceed directly to security. As an added perk, some airports like Birmingham offer discounted parking for those using the twilight service to make the process even more convenient.
