What does it mean to check in when flying?

Check-in is a job of civil aviation. It is to go through the check-in procedures for passengers (change boarding passes, get checked baggage for transporting passengers, and arrange passenger seats).

Check-in link: mainly passengers change tickets, boarding passes and checked baggage. Congestion often occurs during busy hours. There are many reasons for congestion. For example, at present, many airports do not adopt fully open check-in, which makes some check-in machines queue up, but some check-in machines are idle, which makes the check-in machines not fully utilized.

The general self-service check-in system needs multiple steps to complete the check-in procedure, and the handling process is relatively cumbersome. At the same time, due to the lack of understanding of the self-service check-in process, some passengers need to follow certain guidance procedures, resulting in relatively low efficiency and long time.

Extended data:

1. Self-service check-in: For e-ticket passengers, airlines provide self-service check-in equipment in the terminal, and passengers can apply for boarding passes by themselves with e-tickets. At present, the equipment has been installed in Beijing Capital Terminal B, Shanghai Pudong Hongqiao, Guangzhou Baiyun and Shenzhen Airport.

2. Hotel check-in: For business travelers, airlines have transferred their check-in service to hotels. At present, Jinjiang International Hotel of Shenzhen Airlines can provide this service.

3. Terminal check-in: For cities without airports, check-in procedures are handled locally, and flights are taken from other airports. At present, Dongguan City Terminal can provide check-in service for flights originating from Shenzhen and Guangzhou airports.
