Bag drop night before – more risk of bags not being loaded?

[ecugkq30]

Hi. We are off to Corfu in a few weeks on an early-ish T5 departing flight and would ideally like to drop bags the night before as staying at the Sofitel. Given the chaos at the moment with lots of short haul bags being left behind is this more a risk if we check in and drop bags the night before? Thanks!

We’ll be checking bags in at MAN the night before our long haul flights next month. I am taking nothing for granted and we will have the absolute maximum hand luggage in the cabin in case nothing else makes it! And that reminds me to order some of those air tags …

Thanks, we will be doing this too and taking what we can as carry on! Flying CE so hopefully less competition for space in the overhead bins…

One each in the overheads and under the seat in front! And buy extra toiletries at LHR after security. I’m actually wondering whether to dress in several layers, though I might pass out when we disembark in the Caribbean 😂

If a bag aren’t going to get loaded it doesn’t matter if it was checked in an hour before departure or the night before.
