Passengers flying with Jet2 from Birmingham, East Midlands, Leeds Bradford and Stansted will now be able to drop their bags off between 3pm and 8pm the day before their flight.

The service was introduced at Manchester airport in May 2015.

Twilight check-in is aimed at passengers staying at a hotel or living near their departure airport.

Customers just need to check in online at least 24 hours before their flight, then visit the Twilight check-in to drop off their bags.

They can then arrive at the airport the following morning and head straight to security.

Steve Heapy, Jet2.com and Jet2holidays chief executive, said: “Jet2.com and Jet2holidays prides itself on giving customers a unique VIP experience from the very start of their holidays. The Twilight Check-In is a smart and secure service and really adds to our customers’ overall holiday experience.

“The popularity of this service at Manchester means we are delighted to be expanding it, so now customers at five of our UK bases can start their holiday with us luggage-free and breeze through the airport to catch their flight.”
