Departure
We know that many people are concerned about the length of time spent in the check-in queue so we aim to have our passengers served as quickly as possible.
Baggage weight
So that we can meet health and safety requirements, we will not accept
any single piece of baggage weighing more than 30kg.
Check-in
Desks opens at least two hours before the scheduled time of departure. For international flights the check-in closes one hour before the scheduled time of departure. For Flybe Economy Plus passengers, check-in closes 45 minutes before departure. For domestic flights, including flights to the Channel Islands and Eire, check-in closes 30 minutes prior to departure for passengers with checked baggage, or 20 minutes before departure for passengers with handbaggage only. If you miss these deadlines, you will not be allowed to travel and you will not be entitled to a refund.
Boarding
If you have special needs, including travelling with children, we will offer to board you before other passengers. We will preassign seats at check-in.
Long delays on the aircraft
If an aircraft is on the ground for a long period of time without you having access to the terminal, we will make every reasonable effort to provide adequate facilities and access to medical treatment as long as this does not jeopardise the safety and security of passengers and employees. We will always make every reasonable effort to avoid keeping you on board if there is a long delay.
On the aircraft
Once boarded, the Captain will give you information about the expected departure time, arrival time, weather and flight conditions. During the flight they will update this information.
Arrival
We aim for you to be able to collect your baggage no more than 25 minutes after the actual arrival time of the aircraft.
