Check in on line.

[John H]

I have flights to Portugal in April with Jet 2 where they offer the option to 'check in on line'.
I have never done this before so is there any advantage to it?
They mention a baggage drop area for checked in luggage but I do not remember any specific area for this at Glasgow Airport.
I have been told by a friend that you still have to join the normal queue to check in.
Anyone done this at Glasgow?

I have done this once with them and at Leeds Bradford they did have a dedicated drop off point for those who had checked in on-line. It meant no queues for us that time.

We always do it if we can - especially long haul.

The problem is, most people check in on-line these days - so basically all the check in desks become bag drop desks and the queue is almost as long as a check in queue!

The beauty of checking in online for me is for short haul long weekends for example - get everything you need for a few days into your hand luggage and head straight for the gate - none of this checking in two hours before, and no luggage charges either

Haha!  You just wait until those girls of yours get a bit older - there's no way you'll be getting everything in hand luggage!  

(Speaking as a mother of two, now grown up, daughters!!)

From experience I can tell you they will not come in their teens, but when they hit their twenties they will come and bring their partners Then as time goes on they will come bring their partners and your Grandchildren:D

The girls were not too impressed with us saying we were going to Venice for a long weekend and that they would be going to their gran's. I explained that I went to Venice with the school and as a kid I found it boring. I told them they wouldn't enjoy looking at old houses and smelly canals. " We would, we would" they protested. "We love places like that, we will find it interesting too". They couldn't be told otherwise. So, I decided that making Venice sound boring wasn't working. "OK then, if you really think you'd love Venice, I'd let you come too". (Cheers). "Ah, I've had another idea" I said. "Which would you choose - we all go to Venice, or me and mum go to Venice and when we get back we'll go to that theme park for the day?".

"THEME PARK!!!"

Job done
