EasyJet has launched a new service that allows customers to check in their luggage from home for just £30, so you can enjoy a suitcase-free journey. The budget airline has partnered with AirPortr, a home bag drop service, to offer this convenient option for passengers flying from London Gatwick. With this service, travelers can check their luggage in online, and drivers will pick up the bags directly from their doorstep and take them to the airport. This service is available if the address is within a specific catchment area.
AirPortr then ensures the luggage is delivered to easyJet’s bag drop before it is loaded onto one of their flights to any of the 110 destinations from Gatwick. Passengers will not see their luggage again until they arrive at their destination airport. This new service is an option for all easyJet flights to any European destination departing from London Gatwick, which is easyJet’s largest UK base.
Research conducted by easyJet found that more than three-quarters of travelers would rather avoid dealing with luggage on the day of their flight.
