Glasgow Airport is offering 'free parking' to passengers as part of a bag drop-off scheme.

The airport has announced that the Twilight Bag Drop service available across three airlines at the facility now includes free one-hour parking.

The move comes in order to make 'holiday travel even easier'.

Now, travellers can drop off their luggage the night before their flight with free parking for up to one hour at the multi-storey car park directly across from the terminal.

When checking in and dropping off bags, passengers will be given a QR code to receive a 50% Priority Security discount voucher for use the following morning.

Currently, three major airlines are providing the service at Glasgow Airport - easyJet, Jet2.com, and Tui.

The process for the bag drop is split into four steps.

These are: 

  • Step one: Passengers can simply check in online with their airline and download their boarding pass.
  • Step two: Travellers can then 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.
  • Step three: 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% Priority Security discount.
  • Step four: Then return to the car park payment machine located on the ground floor foyer, enter your vehicle registration and scan your 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.”

The scheme is only available to passengers flying before noon the following day.
