With people across Scotland eager to jet off and enjoy some sun this Easter, airports have become significantly more busy over the last few weeks.
As a result, travellers at Edinburgh Airport and Glasgow Airport have had to endure long queues at check-in and security.
In order to ensure passengers don't miss their flight as a result of the increased waiting times, Edinburgh Airport has shared what time each airline's check-in desk opens and closes.

By arriving when a desk first opens, travellers can ensure they avoid the last-minute panic of rushing to catch their plane.
The airport also has a live security time tracker on its website, so flyers can get an up-to-date estimation of how long they should expect to queue for.
In a statement on their website, Edinburgh Airport said: "We won’t hide from the fact there's probably going to be queues in the airport this summer, and that will maybe include at the check in desks.
"While we know it’s probably not what you want to hear, it’s best to be honest with you as we work to meet the surge in demand for air travel. We know handling agents are trying to recruit to meet that demand, but it takes time."
It continued: "In the meantime, we’re asking you to work with us in a few different ways to help keep those queues as short as possible. Prepare for security, know what you can and can’t take in hand luggage and arrive at the airport in good time.
"We appreciate a common frustration among passengers can be not knowing exactly how long before flying to arrive, so we thought we’d share check-in desk opening times to help you plan ahead."
See below for a full breakdown of when each airline's check-in desk opens and closes before a flight.
