Flying to London Heathrow on a morning British Airways flight? Make your travel day easier by dropping off your checked-in luggage the evening before you fly.
With Twilight Bag Drop, you can arrive on the day of travel knowing your bags have already been checked in, giving you one less thing to think about before your journey.

- You have brought the passports for all passengers with checked-in luggage under the same booking
