This has probably been answered before, but I've done a search and can't find the answer[msnsad]

Can anybody tell me the time of the twilight check in at Gatwick[?] Many thanks

Hi

If it's B.A. and your flight goes 11am/ Lunchtime the times are 6pm - 11pm as I was talking to a person at B.A. on Thursday.

Hope this helps

Mind you if you are driving like we did last year, watch out for the parking charges, We
pulled into the car park at exactly 3pm, we were back at the car at 3:15 and it cost £3:50

What a rip off

Your'e Joking ?? £3.50 for 15 minutes.

Is there not anywhere cheaper than this to park for the short period of time?

We used the Virgin Twilight Check-In for the first time a few weeks ago and found it great, you really felt you were on your way once you had checked your bags in.

The only down side is the fact that the short term car park charges are rather steep and there really is nowhere else to park for such a short time.

The only way around this would be to drop your car off first at the Long Stay Car Park and then travel on the Bus back to the terminal, which is less than ideal with all your cases etc.

The only thing that put a downer on Twilight Check - In experiance was the fact that one of our cases had clearly not been protected from the rain / elements overnight and when we arrived in Orlando the clothes were absolutely soaking wet, including ones inside the spare case !!!

Otherwise it was very good and staying overnight at the hotel on site really gave you a nice relaxing start to the day the next morning.[8D]

Fraid not, thats what we were charged. As we had offsite parking we
had no choice, mind you saying that we didnt know the charges would
be that high

We had the same thing the last time we used the Twilight check in. Some of our clothes and suitcases were soaked. That was in the winter though - hoping the weather is better this July!
