Online check-in luggage drop remains the same as per regular check-in. Luggage drop-off acceptance will close at 45 minutes prior to scheduled departure time for all destinations, except London which will close at 60 minutes (one hour) prior to scheduled departure time.
Therefore we advise passengers to arrive at the airport early and set aside ample time for luggage drop-off and immigration security clearance.
