Continental Airlines Tests Self-Boarding
Written by Pats Papers | Tuesday, 27 July 2010 4:28 AM
Continental is the first US airline to try “self-boarding,” reports USA Today. It’s really not that big a change, but passengers at the airline’s hub in Houston are now scanning their own boarding passes at a turnstiles before walking down the ramp to their flight. The newspaper says it’s similar to what riders do when swiping their Metrocard on the New York City subway.
14 airlines from other countries use self-boarding gates. Read more about the typical procedure on Lufthansa’s website.
