Easyjet starts online check-in
Easyjet claims to have become the first major low-cost airline to introduce internet check-in for its UK passengers.
The airline is offering a 15-minute gate arrival time for those travelling only with hand baggage.
Online check-in is now available on all routes from Stansted, Gatwick and Edinburgh airports following a trial and should be available to 90% of UK passengers by April.
The service is to be extended across Europe, enabling passengers with hand baggage to bypass the check-in queue by printing-off their boarding pass from their own computer.
“Unlike other airlines, easyJet allows passengers to print off their boarding pass at the time of booking – rather than having to log-in again immediately before travel,” the airline said.
“Passengers who have checked-in online will be able to arrive at the boarding gate 15 minutes before the scheduled departure time – a more generous time than that offered by any other airline.”
The procedure has been approved by the Department for Transport and passengers still face the same security checks.
