Unfortunately, Glasgow Airport doesn't have this facility

Its only rumours at this stage, airlines are still telling passengers to checkin at the normal time(3 hours) before flights, I spoke to Virgin concerning this last week.
Twilight checkin will not be affected

Im sure somebody will post if it does become offical

this rumour came about because the us immigration want the airlines to check we are all eligible for entry b4 we fly thus taking longer to process each booking at the airport i am informed by my travel agent friend tho no word on when it may happen

we are using twilight anyway thankfully

Does anyone know when this is going to start if it does?? Manchester doesn't have the twilight check in either and i would not fancy getting up at half 3 to get to the airport for half 4 to stand around for 6 hours deffiantly not with a 3 year old. Do they not think that it not a long enough day as it is

UGH !!!

Still it's one way for the airports to boost their earnings by having a captive audiece for an extra 3 hours. It would mean they could guarantee that virtually all passangers would have to eat at least one meal at their overpriced restaurants.

Turn up with all members in your party the day before & book. In you can go off safe in the knowledge your bags are on board, you have your seats & do not have to get to the airport too early the next morning. We have used twilight check in the past 2 visits & have never had to queue to book in, the airport is also quite quiet too. I think check is something like 6pm-9pm, but check in the Virgin brochure or on line

Is twilight check in just for virgin?

BA also do a version of twilight check-in. Both Virgin and BA only offer this at Gatwick.
