EasyJet passengers flying from London Gatwick airport can skip bag drop queues entirely thanks to a unique service.
Normally, passengers have to wait in long queues to drop off their suitcases at check-in desks on arrival at the airport, but this time consuming process can be avoided entirely at London Gatwick. The budget airline runs a bag collection service for passengers flying from London Gatwick, so you can travel to the airport suitcase-free, skip the bag drop queues and go straight to security, saving you both time and stress on the day of travel. The service is run in partnership with Airportr and allows passengers to select a collection time for their luggage that is convenient.
A driver will then collect it and deliver it to the airport, and check it in on your behalf, so the next time you see your bag will be on the carousel at your destination airport after landing.
Passengers are able to track their bags along the journey so you can have piece of mind that your suitcases have arrived safely. The service is also available to passengers flying from Geneva Airport in Switzerland, as well as London Gatwick.
Easyjet explains: “If you’re flying from London Gatwick or Geneva, you can now get your luggage collected and checked in by our friends at Airportr. So, you can travel suitcase-free to the airport, skip the bag drop queues and head straight to security.
“Landing in Geneva? If so, you can also get your luggage delivered to your hotel, home or office. This means anyone flying from London Gatwick has the option of travelling entirely luggage-free, door-to-door. How’s that for easy?
“Choose a pick up time that suits you. Just so you know, the collection point needs to be within Airportr’s service areas in London and Geneva.
“A friendly driver will seal your luggage and take it to the airport. You can track the journey every step of the way, from collection to check in.
“That’s all there is to it. Your luggage will be waiting for you on the carousel after landing (unless you’ve also booked delivery in Geneva).”
Only passengers flying from London Gatwick in the UK or Geneva in Switzerland can use the bag collection service and easyJet says the pick-up and delivery slots fill up quickly so passengers are urged to book at least 48 hours before their flight is due to depart.
