EasyJet has made a check-in change for 2026 that allows passengers to check-in for flights and drop off their bags the night before flying at eight UK airports.

The budget airline expanded its popular Twilight Bag Drop service to Birmingham Airport last month, benefiting passegers booked on early morning flights. The new service means Birmingham Airport passengers can avoid long check-in queues on the day of their departure and instead drop their bags off the evening before, free of charge. Passengers departing from Birmingham Aiport will also receive discounted parking for an hour in the airport’s Premium Set Down car park by presenting their bag drop baggage receipt when they exit. The service, which is also available to easyJet customers at seven other airports across the country, aims to save passengers valuable time on their journey through the airport on their departure day by skipping bag drop entirely and heading straight to security.

The free service is available to all passengers booked on early morning flights and bags can be dropped off from late afternoon to early evening, depending where you are flying from.

The expansion this year means easyJet passengers can now access the twilight service at eight major airports across the UK, which include London Gatwick, London Luton, Bristol, Manchester, Edinburgh, Glasgow, Belfast and now Birmingham.

The service is also available at Berlin Airport and Amsterdam Schiphol in Europe, and is restricted to passengers who have early flight departures.

Kevin Doyle, easyJet’s UK Country Manager, said last month: “We are always looking for new ways to make travel as easy as possible, so we are really pleased to be introducing our free Twilight Bag Drop service for our customers flying from Birmingham Airport.

“As families head off on their next holiday or are planning one to look forward to, whether that’s hitting the slopes, soaking up some winter sun or a fun-filled half-term or Easter break, we remain focused on offering greater choice and exceptional value across our unrivalled short-haul network, always aiming to make travel easy.”

Passengers who have a flight departing in the morning from an airport that offers the twilight service can drop their bags off at the easyJet bag drop area during the specified hours.

Passengers simply need to check-in online, or via the easyJet mobile app, before arriving at the airport, and must bring along their passport and boarding passes.

An empty village is on sale in Spain for a bargain price. The property was first listed at €200,000 (around £173,860) in 2021 but according to Idealista.com, the price has now been reduced to €150,000 (around £130,395).

The village, Candelago, is perched on the Costa da Morte and it’s home to stunning sea views. The price drop has sparked new interest from buyers. It’s not a surprise to see so many people interested in the village which comes with wild landscapes and beautiful walking routes.

Candelago is home to around ten traditional stone houses, hórreos (Galician granaries used to store and preserve food), and overgrown paths. The village has faced years of abandonment after it experienced a population decline since the 1970s.

The village is not in the middle of nowhere – just a few miles away is the village of Corme, a fishing hub that is home to the historic Rocundo Lighthouse and the Museum of Contemporary Art Costa da Morte.

Today, it has big potential for a buyer. The village is located in a prime location for enjoying its natural surroundings and it’s also close to the seaside.

For buyers, it’s an ideal place to renovate and redesign into a private retreat or tourist venture.

But it’s not the only Spanish village that’s been in this position in recent years.

Across Spain, there have been multiple small areas which offer buyers a unique opportunity to invest in a whole village for redevelopment.

Often, these villages gain the attention of international buyers who are keen to get their hands on the historic land.

The villages have appealed to young people and to investors seeking sustainable, experiential tourism opportunities.
