I believe this was a Jet2 first. It was first done at LBA probably about a decade ago, TUI copied and I think easyJet have followed suit. It can be handy as it means you can offload your bags the night before making it far less stressful for those who hate the airport experience. The downside is you do have to make an additional journey to the airport which will come at a cost to you if you need to park up while you check-in your bags. Those who I know who have used it swear by it and say the whole airport process is much easier. It means you can just go straight through security at the airport and you can forget about your belongings until you arrive on your holiday.
It sounds a good idea, especially I can imagine for a family with lots of luggage, just to get that out of the way, making it much easier on the day of travel.
