BRISTOL Airport has revealed the clever way to make sure you don't get stuck in long queues this summer – and you won't have to pay a penny.
In response to the long queues, some airports and airlines have started letting passengers leave their bags the night before.
Jet2, TUI and easyJet all offer the free service at Bristol Airport, although some airports such as Heathrow and Manchester have similar services.
This means Brits who are staying near the airport or overnight at the on-site Hilton can take advantage.
Jet2's twilight check in lets one person drop off up to six people's bags.
This can be done any time between 4:30pm and 9pm the night before, if your flight is before midday.

TUI's twilight bag drop is for any customers with slightly earlier flights, if travelling before 8:30am the next day.
Passengers can check in their bags between 6pm and 9pm the night before.
