Flying high: Next Generation Check-in unveiled

Perth – Qantas airlines has unveiled its Next Generation Check-in experience, designed by Australian-born Marc Newson.

Travellers on domestic flights who want to avoid waiting will be able to simply touch an ‘intelligent Q’ smart card at Q-readers throughout the airport.

The smart-chip enabled cards will act as a permanent boarding pass at check-in, bag-drop and to board the aircraft.

This is a great example of how companies are responding to the needs of on-the-go consumers and their Bleisure lifestyles.
