Previously, BA only permitted check-in of luggage between 4pm and 10pm if the passenger’s flight departed before 3:15pm the next day.

Since the start of the winter services, BA has extended this to all customers.

Passengers checking in bags for the following day should drop their bags at the appropriate Fast Bag Drop desk in Zone D.

Early bag check-in is a great service if you plan to book a Gatwick hotel room before you fly.
