Ryanair has reminded Brits not to forget an upcoming change affecting all passengers with checked-in luggage .

The budget airline will close its airport bag drop services 60 minutes before scheduled departure, instead of the current 40 minute rule, from Tuesday, 10 November.

Ryanair originally announced the shake-up in April to make sure the 20 per cent of its passengers that check in a bag have “more time” to clear airport security and passport control queues before boarding begins.

The remaining 80 per cent of passengers who make the most of Ryanair’s cheap flights – and don’t want to spend money on checked-in luggage – will be unaffected by the 20-minute change.
