BRITISH AIRWAYS has chosen London City Airport, from where it flies to Edinburgh, Frankfurt and Geneva, for the introduction of a home or office boarding card printing facility. This will enable British Airways” Executive Club members to check in up to 24 hours before a flight, and registered passengers 12 hours prior. Under the current on-line system customers can confirm their flight and select their seat, but still need to visit a Self-Service Check-in Kiosk to collect their boarding pass. This latest development also allows customers to print their boarding card, which will have a unique barcode. Once at the airport, they proceed directly to security where the barcode is checked by a scanner. Customers with bags to check in can use the ”fast bag drop” facility. LCY was chosen for the introduction as it has the largest number of its passengers, pro rata, holding Executive Club membership and registration.
