From today Qantas will begin rolling out a new Auto Check-in service that invites customers via their own device to complete check-in and access their boarding pass in three simple clicks.<\/p>\n
Designed to streamline travel for domestic passengers, the new technology aims to improve the experience of customers not already taking advantage of check-in via qantas.com or enjoying the convenience of the Qantas app.<\/p>\n
The new digital innovation is part of Qantas\u2019 ongoing investment in customer service and driven by demand for a quick and seamless airport experience.<\/p>\n
The technology initiates check-in for customers while also allowing them to view or change their seat and flight.<\/p>\n
Qantas Domestic Head of Customer Strategy Philip Capps said Auto Check-in is a result of Qantas\u2019 drive to simplify people\u2019s journey.<\/p>\n
\u201cOur Auto Check-in technology is an evolution of an already world class system that simplifies the check-in process for time-poor customers on the go,\u201d said Mr Capps.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt means for the millions of smartphone users flying with Qantas, just by opening a text message or an email link, they\u2019re only a few clicks away from completing check-in and receiving their boarding pass.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cIt also means customers get more time to relax in the lounge or head straight to the gate without needing to print a paper boarding pass.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe know our customers value choice and flexibility so we have also designed Auto Check-in to include seat and flight change options, ensuring customers can tailor their journey and are effectively \u2018ready to fly\u2019 before leaving home or work.<\/p>\n
\u201cQantas has a history of innovation in streamlining the customer journey with innovations including check-in via QCard Readers, our Next Generation kiosks and our Q Bag Tags. Auto Check-in is another example of how we are meeting the ever evolving needs of our customers to deliver a leading travel experience.\u201d<\/p>\n
How works:<\/p>\n
Step 1: When booking a flight, customers will need to provide a mobile phone number. If not supplied, the email address attached to the booking will be used.<\/p>\n
Step 2: On the day of travel or the night before, the customer will receive an SMS\/email asking if they\u2019re still planning to take the flight.<\/p>\n
Step 3: After confirming they are not travelling with Dangerous Goods, customers will receive their boarding pass on their phone.\u00a0 All other customers will be referred to a Customer Service Agent at the airport to complete their check-in.<\/p>\n
Customers wishing to check bags can simply scan their mobile boarding pass at the Bag Drop.<\/p>\n
Auto Check-in will be rolled out in phases across the domestic network to selected customers from this week through to completion in early 2015. The first routes to use Auto Check-in will include:<\/p>\n
\u2022 Sydney \u2013 Darwin<\/p>\n
\u2022 Sydney \u2013 Adelaide<\/p>\n
\u2022 Sydney – Perth<\/p>\n
All existing technology and face-to-face check-in services will remain available for all travellers.<\/p>\n
Currently, customers can check-in via the Qantas app or qantas.com 24 hours before their flight \u2013 allowing them to select their seat and access their boarding pass before arriving at the airport.<\/p>\n
Customers will still have the option to check-in via the customer service desk or kiosks at the airport.<\/p>\n
