The Twilight bag drop service is available daily to passengers flying with Ryanair, easyJet, Jet2.com, British Airways and Aer Lingus.
The free service allows passengers on morning flights to come to the airport the night before to check in their luggage, meaning they can head straight to security on the day of their flight. This service operates throughout the summer and winter months.
Passengers with an official Edinburgh Airport car parking booking will get free access to the 1hr Parking area the night before their flight while they drop their cases off.

It's important to note that if you're checking-in luggage on the day of your flight you should ensure you arrive at the airport for your check-in desk opening.
All customers who have made a car parking booking directly with the airport will be given access to the 1hr Parking area while they drop their bags off the night before.
To get in you don't need to do anything else, the barrier will automatically lift and allow you access when you arrive.
1hr Parking is located within Terminal Parking. To get there from Eastfield Road just follow the signs for Edinburgh Airport and then continue straight at the roundabout by the DoubleTree by Hilton. At the next roundabout take the second exit towards Terminal Parking.
Once you enter the car park you'll see 1 hr Parking signposted (it's close to the coach park).
It's worth noting all parking bookings need to have been made directly with the airport to qualify.
