Online check-in

A number of the airlines operating from Bristol Airport offer passengers the opportunity to check-in online up to two weeks before their flight.

Ryanair currently operate 100% online check-in so passengers who arrive without being checked in online risk additional charges from the airline.

Some airlines currently offer this facility to passengers who are travelling with hand luggage only, whilst others are able to offer online check-in for both hold luggage and hand luggage.

Both easyJet and Ryanair operate bag drop facilities at Bristol Airport.

Passengers carrying hand luggage only can proceed directly to the Security Search Area with their pre-printed boarding card. Those travelling with hold luggage should also pre-print their boarding cards, and on arrival at the airport visit the appropriate check-in desks to drop their bags before proceeding to security.

Please dont forget  that it is the passengers responsibility to ensure that the number of bags presented at Security Search is compliant with their Airline's allowance - this is in order to avoid refusal of carriage at the boarding gate.  View further information >>
