Jet2's 'fantastic' service at Leeds Bradford Airport that helps you skip the queues

Passengers flying with Jet2 from Leeds Bradford Airport have been offered a service which can help them beat queues following weeks of chaos.

Jet2 offers Twilight Check In for passengers travelling before 12pm. The free service gives holiday goers a chance to drop bags off at the airport between 3-8pm the evening before their morning flight.

This means when people arrive at the airport the following day, luggage is already sorted, reports Manchester Evening News.

The service comes after chaos and complaints at the airport. Passengers have complained about being greeted by large queues when they arrive at the airport, with some waiting hours to get through security checks.

Other airports across the country including Manchester Airport are also facing similar problems and the service is also being offered there.

Speaking about using the service at the Leeds airport, @wilcock_steve said: “Got to @LBIAirport @ 2.45 through security in an hour. We did use twilight bag check tho. 6am flight." He also added that when he used the twilight check in he was "done in 15 minutes".

@Walter1 tweeted: "[I] flew from LBA Friday morning @ 6.15. Did the Twilight Check In, joined the Security queue @ 2.45 about an hour to get through. Well worth doing."

Have you used Twilight check-in at LBA? Let us know in the comments.

The Airport previously tweeted: “GREAT NEWS - Twilight Check-in is back with @jet2tweets.

“This fantastic free service means you can drop your bags off at the airport the evening before your departure from @LBIAirport.”

How it works according to Jet2:

  • Check in online at least 24 hours before your flight.

  • Drop your bags at the airport. One person in your party can drop off up to 6 people's bags. Take luggage to the airport between 3-8pm the evening before your flight. Don't forget your boarding passes and passports.

  • Head straight to security. When it's your time to fly, skip check-in and go to security

  • Have a lovely flight!
