With so many changes around travel, passports and regulations for entering other countries, it is no wonder many passengers are confused over the rules that apply when jetting off on holidays or for other travel reasons. Couple this with recent airport chaos due to staff shortages and flight cancellations and it is clear that there is a need for clarity before you travel.
One question being asked at the moment relates to the rules for dropping off baggage at the airport. For many it has been some time since they took a flight so it's worth refreshing your memory with the procedure especially as airports are at their busiest times.
East Midlands Airport (EMA), for instance, expects to welcome more than 1.3m passengers (departing and arriving) through its doors during July and August. Each airline has different rules and timing when it comes to when you can drop off your bags, so it is important to check the details with the individual airline before travelling or making your plans.
