Passengers travelling with eligible airlines can benefit from the free parking initiative
Passengers travelling from Manchester Airport have the opportunity to get free parking if they do one thing. Naturally, when heading on holiday, passengers want to get through check-in and security as quickly and stress free as possible.
However there is a way to make the day of your flight go even more smoothly, if you are willing to plan ahead. At Manchester Airport a ‘Twilight Bag Drop’ option is available and comes with free parking.
Passengers travelling with eligible airlines, including Virgin Atlantic, TUI, Lufthansa, Jet2.com, Ryanair and easyJet, can drop their bags off at the airport the night before they fly – and can benefit from free parking at one of the airport car parks to do so.

To benefit from the time saver holidaygoers simply need to take a token at the entry barrier and proceed to check-in and drop off their bags. After dropping off their bags they then need to attend the ticket desk with their boarding pass and car park token to validate the token. At the exit barrier passengers can then return their token, when leaving the car park and the barrier will rise.
The Twilight Bag Drop is just one of the many ways Manchester Airport has outlined to make check-in quicker for passengers. The airline suggests that customers find their check-in desk before setting off and most importantly the terminal they are flying from online.
Another way of saving time is to use the self service check in desks. The distinctive lime green self-service check-in machines are located throughout the terminals at Manchester Airport, offering passengers a hassle-free way of checking in at no extra cost.
The quick and easy to use machines help to eliminate queues, confirm your booking and print your boarding card in no time at all. If you have baggage, you can then take it to a bag drop, or if you only have hand baggage you can proceed straight to security.
Online check-in allows customers to check-in in the comfort of their own home, or on the go – although be aware that a printer may be required, depending on the airline’s policy. Once you get to the airport, if you have baggage you can take it to the bag drop, or if you only have hand baggage you can proceed directly to security.
Passengers can also get through the airport quicker with the help of the airport’s self-service Express Check-in kiosks. User-friendly touch screen kiosks help to eliminate queues and hassle, enabling you to check-in and print your own boarding card in no time at all. Self check-in kiosks are located within the departures areas of Terminals 1, 2 and 3.
