Liverpool John Lennon Airport has shared 10 essential tips for the millions of passengers expected to fly this summer. With schools on break, the airport anticipates its busiest period, handling over 5.6 million passengers annually, with July and August peak months.
Check In Early Online
One of the easiest ways to save time is to check in online. Most airlines allow check-in via their website between 24 hours and 30 days before departure. This gives you the advantage of selecting your preferred seat, printing or downloading boarding passes, and confirming travel details before arriving at the airport. With hand luggage only, you can head straight to security, avoiding queues at the check-in desk.
Weigh Your Luggage at Home
Weigh all luggage at home, including cabin and hold cases, to ensure they meet airline limits. By checking weight beforehand, you can remove or redistribute items to avoid extra charges.
Arrive Early and Consider Meet and Greet Parking
Arriving early allows time for unexpected delays. The airport recommends booking Meet and Greet parking, where you pull up close to the terminal and a dedicated team member parks your car securely. This saves time and reduces stress.
Organise Parking in Advance
If driving, book parking in advance to save time and money. Pre-booking lets you compare options and guarantees a space, avoiding last-minute searches.
Take Photos of Your Parking Spot and Luggage
Take a photo of your parking spot and luggage with your phone. This helps locate your car on return and aids airport staff if luggage is lost.
Skip Queues with Fast Track Security Passes
Pre-purchasing a Fast Track pass gives access to dedicated security lanes, bypassing longer lines. Liverpool Airport offers a Fast Track parking option that includes up to two free Fast Track Security passes.
Reserve Duty Free Items
Reserve items online from World Duty Free before departure, then pay and collect after security.
Take Advantage of Free WiFi
Stay connected with free high-speed WiFi available throughout the terminal.
Pack a Portable Charger
Bring a fully charged portable charger for devices. Power banks must be in hand luggage, limited to two per flight, and cannot be charged in flight.
Bring a Refillable Water Bottle
Bring an empty refillable water bottle to fill at water stations after security.
