kruzseeka Posted January 11, 2015 #2 Share Posted January 11, 2015 HiDoes anyone know if you can check in and leave your bags the day before at Manchester airport prior to carribean cruise. Flying thomson Dreamliner Thanks Our experience of Thomson day-before check in at Gatwick is that they don't do it for Caribbean flights (even for their own cruises). It does make this exception clear on their website. However whether it makes a difference if it's a charter flight ie all passengers are with P&O and destined for the ship as opposed to a mix of passengers as would be the case on a Thomson scheduled flight I'm not certain. We are flying out from Gatwick and staying there the night before. We'll ask the question when we arrive the day before our flight but I'm not expecting to be able to.

BrianI Posted January 11, 2015 #3 Share Posted January 11, 2015 For P&O charters, you can only check in on the day. Brian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shrinkingsue Posted January 11, 2015 Author #4 Share Posted January 11, 2015 Thank you both for your replies, we have booked our seats so it's not a problem would just be nice to get rid of the cases and not have to arrive as early on the day Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FAB1 Posted April 11, 2015 #5 Share Posted April 11, 2015 I have just been at Manchester Airport this morning and called at the Thomson Checkin desk at Terminal 2. The very nice young girl looking after the queue confirmed that they definitely do day before checkin for P&O charter flights if you have a morning flight. You need to go to the checkin desk after 12pm the day before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You need to go to the checkin desk after 12pm the day before. You're lucky! They most definitely didn't do it at Gatwick. We had an overnight at an airport hotel so when we arrived, on the off chance we could do day-before drop off, we went to check at the Thomson desk and were given a categorical 'No'. I hope it works for you as it's a useful service. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
annieuk Posted April 11, 2015 #7 Share Posted April 11, 2015 As has been said definitely no day before check in at Gatwick. We were told it was because it was a P&O charter and that all the luggage is bonded and sent directly to the ship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kersh Posted April 11, 2015 #8 Share Posted April 11, 2015 They definitely didn't do it 3 weeks ago at Manchester airport either for P & O charter flights. Sue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kersh Posted April 11, 2015 #9 Share Posted April 11, 2015 The reason they don't do it is because everyone has to sign a Health Deckaration form which which needs to be signed on day of travel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FAB1 Posted April 11, 2015 #10 Share Posted April 11, 2015 I will report back after 29th April to let you know if we were able to do this. The girl did say we may still have to go up to the checkin desk on the day, presumably to fill in the health declaration form. Am just trying to avoid a long wait at checkin at 4am although I was told there wont be a queue as they have plenty of desks open. Must admit there was no queue today at 8am and she said they were checking in 3 long haul flights at that time. Will just have to wait and see.
