Self serve bag drop

[davecttr]

Is this how the self serve bag drop at Gatwick works?

 

> Check in online and print your boarding pass

> At the terminal go to the self serve bag drop and scan the QR code on your boarding pass

> scan your passport?

> your luggage label is printed and you attach it to your case?

> put the case on the belt

> Case is scanned and weighed and of it goes along the belt

> go to security

 

will there be someone there to help when i get a senior moment 😵

Hi Dave.

Not sure about Gatwick, at Birmingham it’s pretty much as  you have described it but we don’t  scan our passport at the self serve bag drop just the boarding pass, After weighing the case the labels are printed and attached to the bags and the case is put onto the belt  we then go to the adjacent TUI check in desks where they check our passport and boarding pass and then we go to through to security. Last time at Birmingham there was TUI staff who check all necessary documents while we were in the queue, also there are staff milling about near the scales to assist where needed.

Keep well.
