Doncaster Airport Departures

Check-in

Check-in times at Doncaster airport vary between three hours and 40 minutes before the flight leaves, so you should check with your airline or travel agent. Personally though, we’d say turning up 40 minutes before your plane leaves can be a little risky – our advice would be to give yourself two hours in case of unexpected delays.

Check the flight information screens in the main concourse to see where to go. Once you’ve checked in, you should take the escalators or lifts up to the first floor for the security checks.

Baggage allowance

Your airline will be able to tell you how much hand and hold luggage you’re allowed – it varies a lot. The rule allowing only one item of hand luggage per passenger is no longer universal. The maximum hand luggage size for most airlines is 56cm x 45cm x 25cm, but do check with your provider.

Liquids, gels and pastes should be put in your hold luggage if possible. You are only allowed to take them in your hand luggage if they are in containers of 100ml or less. You must also take any liquids out of your hand luggage and take them through security in a clear, resealable 20cm x 20cm plastic bag.
