Qantas has announced that it will commence using the Next Generation Check-in system at its domestic terminal at Sydney Airport from November 10 following its successful trial at its terminal in Perth.
The Next Generation Check-in will allow passengers at Sydney’s Terminal 3 holding specialised radio frequency ID (RFID) cards to check in by touching a specilaised Q Card reader, while those with RFID Q Bag Tags will be able to drop their bags straight onto the conveyor belt at the auto bag drops. Qantas says the process has been designed to cut down check-in times dramatically.
