Check-in

Three airlines operate from Southend: easyJet, Aer Lingus Regional, and Thomson and First Choice. easyJet now only offers online check-in, so you won’t be able to check in at the airport. For the other two airlines, check-in at Southend opens two hours before the flight leaves and closes 45 minutes ahead of departure. The airport’s advice is to get there near the start of check-in.

Online check-in is also an option with Aer Lingus. If you’ve checked in online, all you need to do when you get to the airport is drop your hold luggage at the bag drop before heading to security.

If you’ve got an early flight, it’s worth knowing that the terminal is closed between midnight and 4am.

Baggage allowance

You should check with your airline what your hold and hand luggage allowances are.

Liquids, pastes and gels are only allowed in your hand luggage if they’re in containers of 100ml or less. If the container is bigger than this, they should go in your hold luggage. Liquids must be taken out of your hand luggage and put through security in a clear, resealable 20cm x 20cm plastic bag. Only one bag of liquids is allowed per passenger. Baby food and baby milk are exempt from the 100ml rule - you may be asked to taste them to prove their authenticity.
