Qantas Introduces Smart Cards To Streamline Check-In Process

Qantas Airlines is introducing a new Marc Newson designed check-in process that will allow passengers to breeze through airport terminals to their flight. The Next Generation Check-In will offer frequent fliers an RFID-embedded card that stores a permanent tracking number which records information for each trip. Users simply have to hold this smart card under the Next Generation Check-in kiosks, enabling them to skip a few steps through the check-in process and thus reducing boarding queues at the airport and allowing passengers to spend more time as they choose before boarding the flight.

Here’s an introduction video of the Next Generation Check-in:
