Holidaymakers are being asked to drop their bags off the night before flights to ease pressure at havoc-hit airports.
British Airways has contacted passengers flying from London Gatwick or Heathrow Terminal 5 asking them to check their luggage in before returning for their flight the next day.
In an email to travellers flying from Gatwick, BA said: “We want to do everything we can to help you avoid spending your time queuing.”
