With summer closing in we're getting to that time of the year in which airports are going to filled to the rafters with travellers looking forward to extended trips in the sunshine. Yet for some people the prospect of long queues and nightmare waiting times can be too much.
As we saw recently, complaints flooded social media over the "hell on earth" ordeal for people trying to get through Manchester Airport. Airlines recognise this too, which is why some of the UK's most popular ones, such as Jet2, are allowing customers to drop off their bags and luggage a day in advance.
Baggage allowances and check-in times vary from airline to airline - and turning up with the wrong size case could result in an unexpected fee. Dropping off your bags early can be handy for those that live locally or are staying overnight near to the airport.
