BA Flight... Anyone Done Twilight Check In?

[MrRomance]

We've always used the Twilight Check In when we've flown with Virgin, but as we're now on a Virgin boycott after the nonsense we experienced last year, does anyone know if BA offer twilight check in and has anyone used it?

TIA

I did it two summers ago at Gatwick (I assume you're flying from there?) and it was really easy - no fuss, no queues and an easy service.

I just checked the BA website and it says this:

What is the London Gatwick early check-in service and how does it work?

Answer
Customers departing on British Airways scheduled flights from the North Terminal at Gatwick can check in, deposit baggage and collect their boarding cards the day before their flight departs.

Who can use this service?

The service is available for customers travelling on any British Airways service departing before 15:15 the following day.

Self-Service check-in details/Self check-in process

Early check-in is available between 16:00 and 22:00 on the day prior to departure for those passengers qualifying as shown above.

To use the service, present yourself, your documents and your checked baggage at the British Airways check-in desk as though you were about to travel. For security reasons, we can only check in customers who are able to attend in person.

You will be required to provide a telephone contact (preferably a mobile number) at the time of check-in.

Please note: once checked in, we will not be able to retrieve your baggage.

Day of departure process

On the day of travel, you can go straight through security and to your allocated departure gate. Remember to be at the gate at least 45 minutes prior to scheduled departure time for intercontinental services and 30 minutes prior to departure for European and domestic services.

Have a Great Trip!!!!

Yep, used it with no problems. Had done online check in at 24 hrs prior and then did twilight check in to ditch the luggage.
