Choose early check-in for an even easier experience at East Midlands Airport
East Midlands Airport customers are being reminded about the option to check in their luggage the evening before they fly, to add to the ease of their airport experience.
Airlines Jet2 and TUI both offer the service for customers who are flying before midday, opening their check-in desks between 4-9pm the evening before - useful for those living close to the airport and anyone using a hotel nearby. East Midlands Airport offers customers taking up this option up to 90 minutes of free parking in Short Stay 1 car park.
It’s one of a number of measures that are designed to make flying from East Midlands Airport as effortless as possible. The airport was recently rated the least stressful airport in the UK based on CAA data. Options alongside the evening before check-in option include:
· Customers using the Meet & Greet service can now drop off and pick up their keys automatically to avoid potential queues
· Barrierless, cashless payment systems for rapid drop-off have been introduced to make it quicker and easier for customers and reduce congestion in the area
· Assisted Travel is available for anyone requiring extra help getting through the airport - with new mobility scooters, a new Quiet Room and the first-of-its-kind sensory pod introduced recently
· Fast track tickets can be bought to avoid queues through security, which has seen next-generation scanners installed to further simplify and speed up the process – with 99% of customers already completing it in under 15 minutes.
Customer Services and Planning Director at East Midlands Airport, Mike Grimes, said: “We are constantly looking for ways to make our customers’ experience as effortless as possible, and these services are just some of the options available that help us do that.
“The opportunity to check in baggage the evening before travel is appealing for Jet2 and TUI customers living or staying nearby so they can fully relax on the day they fly. This, together with other services and a range of improvements we’ve undertaken in our terminal, help to give people a great hassle-free start to their holidays.”
