5. What if you have bags?
If you have bags, here are your options.
- If you are travelling with just your included 10kg carry-on bag (7kg regional flights operated by Emerald Airlines) you can go straight to security.
- If you need to check bags, use a self-service kiosk to drop them off and avoid queues. Alternatively, you can go to a check-in desk, but be mindful of the waiting times.
