EasyJet set to roll-out Internet check-in for its UK passengers

easyJet claims to have become the first major low-cost airline to roll-out Internet check-in for its UK passengers. By April, the service is expected to be available to 90 percent of easyJet’s UK passengers.

The airline is offering a 15-minute gate arrival time for those travelling only with hand baggage.

According to easyJet, following a successful trial in early February, easyJet is now offering online check-in on all routes from London Stansted, London Gatwick and Edinburgh airports and is in the process of rolling-out the service to customers across Europe.

Online check-in is a simple process that enables 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 procedure has been approved by the Department for Transport and passengers still face the same security checks, stated the airline.
