 Poster: A snowHead

quick question flying with Easyjet from Manchester to Turin on the 13th February. says can check-in from 5-15 am for 7-15 am flight? does anybody know if we could check in any earlier? Due to Covid documentation and me being a nervous flyer I don't want to be rushing about. We will book the lounge so won't be sat around if you know what I mean, many thanks

2 hours is standard - ordinarily it'd be no problem showing earlier but as you are probably first flight in the am i doubt counter staff will be there. By all means get lined up so you're processed as soon as they open.

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

I arrived earlier than 2hrs before flight time for the PiPAUbash in Dec from Manchester. I'd done online checkin and used automated bag drop (and oversize) without issue. They were checking covid paperwork manually in the short queue before bag drop.

@carla4221, Sometimes and in some places you are able to check-in earlier for EasyJet, but as @Dave of the Marmottes, says it is likely the desks will only open 2 hours before the first EasyJet flight of the day. I have also been refused check-in early for no apparent good reason that I could see (in Madrid).
I am sure if you arrive say 15 mins earlier you can get yourself to the front of the queue and have plenty of time for a leisurely process.
Have a good trip!

Queues at MCR last weekend were moving VERY slowly. Everyone, checked in or not, had to go to the Check in desk. Only plus side is it was check in , security, straight onto plane.
Off again in 3 weeks and will make sure I’m there as early as possible. Check in for all flights appeared the same.

Does Manchester not have those auto check in points? I've done that ahead of time before in Edinburgh.

That’s what I did, and what I was expecting, but no, everyone was directed to check in desk wether or not they’d checked in and had boarding cards. I guess so that additional docs could be checked but it could just be because MAN is dreadful .
I won’t mention the hour long wait for skis on return. Whoops.

@carla4221, We went through Man recently and had 3 large hold cases with us. We were deliberately early in case of any documentation problems. We enquired about checking in as soon as we arrived even though our flight hadn't been allocated any desk numbers. Staff were great to be fair. Just asked us to wait until the bulk of passengers checking in for an earlier were processed then called us forward to check our kit in. All in order and plenty of time for a leisurely lunch before boarding.

@GeorgeVII, thanks we will aim to get there 3 hours before don’t mind hanging around if it means I have time to chill after bag drop off. I hate flying and rushing makes it so much worse

@r11s, if you’ve no bags you can go straight to security but then they have to check everything at the gate. I think if it’s been checked at the desk they give you something on your boarding pass so they can let you straight through? Seemed that way when we came back from Mallorca in October.
I’m a bit surprised EJ haven’t signed up for something like Verifly like BA, given their reliance on quick turnarounds. I flew BA last Friday and they didn’t need to check anything as it had already been done online. KLM have their own version - once you’ve uploaded your docs they issue your electronic boarding pass and no more checks (other than the normal ones) are needed.

I posted and then promptly deleted when I saw this post. I’m flying easyJet from Manchester and am compromising on 2.5hrs before I think.
