A SCOTTISH airport has launched free one-hour parking following the establishment of a luggage drop-off service designed to make holiday travel easier for passengers.
The Twilight Bag Drop service is available across three airlines at Glasgow Airport, easyJet, Jet2 and Tui, and now comes with free one-hour parking for passengers who use the service.
Holidaymakers can drop their luggage off the night before their flight and park their cars in the multi-story car park across from the terminal.
When checking in and dropping off their bags, passengers will be given a QR code to receive a 50% discount voucher for use the following morning as well.

The airport has broken down how passengers should use this service in four steps: ·
- Check-in online with the airline and download boarding pass.
- Park in one of the orange-coloured one-hour bays on the ground floor of the multi-storey car park directly opposite the terminal the night before flying.
- Take all hold luggage, passports and booking details to one of the three airlines’ designated Twilight Bag Drop areas. Passengers will receive a QR code at this point to receive their 50% Priority Security discount.
- Return to the car park payment machine located on the ground floor foyer, enter vehicle registration and scan airline boarding pass to validate the one-hour free parking.
Mark Beveridge, Glasgow Airport managing director, said the service aims to make the experience of flying hassle-free.
He said: “The introduction of our Twilight Bag Drop service is proving to be incredibly popular both with passengers who either live near the airport or those staying in a hotel locally prior to their day of travel.
“With our airline partners easyJet, Jet2 and Tui each adding additional based aircraft to their fleets at Glasgow, we anticipate welcoming nearly two million departing passengers this summer alone.
“With the addition of free parking for up to one hour and a 50% Priority Security discount, the Twilight Bag Drop product delivers a hassle-free service so that passengers can enjoy a seamless start to their holidays.”
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
