Glasgow Airport introduces free one-hour parking if you drop off your bags the night before

Glasgow Airport has introduced a new service providing free parking for one hour for travellers who drop their bags off the night before they travel.

The Twilight Bag Drop is available across three airlines at the airport with free parking available at the multi-storey carpark directly across from the terminal.

On checking in and dropping off bags, passengers will be given a QR code to receive a 50 per cent Priority Security discount voucher for use the following morning. Three of the airport’s largest holiday providers – easyJet, Jet2.com and Tui – offer the Twilight Bag Drop service seven days a week.

The process includes the following steps:

• Passengers check in online with their airline and download their boarding pass.

• Park in one of the orange-coloured one-hour bays on the ground floor of the multi-storey car park directly opposite the terminal the night before flying.

• Take all hold luggage, passports and booking details to one of the three airlines’ designated Twilight Bag Drop areas. Passengers will receive a QR code at this point to receive their 50 per cent Priority Security discount.

• Return to the car park payment machine located on the ground floor foyer, enter vehicle registration and scan airline boarding pass to validate the one-hour free parking.

Mark Beveridge, Glasgow Airport Managing Director, said: “The introduction of our Twilight Bag Drop service is proving to be incredibly popular both with passengers who either live near the airport or those staying in a hotel locally prior to their day of travel.

“With our airline partners easyJet, Jet2.com and Tui each adding additional based aircraft to their fleets at Glasgow, we anticipate welcoming nearly two million departing passengers this summer alone.

“With the addition of free parking for up to one hour and a 50% Priority Security discount, the Twilight Bag Drop product delivers a hassle-free service so that passengers can enjoy a seamless start to their holidays.”

Twilight Bag Drop is only available to passengers flying before noon the following day. For more information on Twilight Bag Drop or other services such as Valet Parking visit the website.
