There are few people who enjoy traveling by plane. The procedure we have to go through before boarding is particularly annoying. Security checks and passport checks require a lot of our time and patience. That's why technology comes to the rescue, which will make you fall in love with flying.
Innovations in the field of air transport aim to help make our journey quick and easy. Let's see what our airport visit will look like in the future.
Login
In the past years, we have already become accustomed to the Internet check-in. This allows us to check-in for the flight earlier and avoid queues. We print the plane ticket ourselves or simply save it on our phone. It is especially convenient in the event that we only take hand luggage with us on the trip, as this allows us to immediately continue our journey to the security control. Delta Air Lines has gone one step further. With the automatic system of sending flight tickets to phones, he wants to completely eliminate check-in at the counters at the airport.
Your life will also be easier if you have to check in your luggage before the flight. You can print the bag label, which we get at the baggage claim counter, at home or at special machines at the airport. Even more modern is the technology that identifies your luggage based on a barcode on a mobile app. It is developed by British Airways.
SECURITY CONTROL
Of course, you can't do without a security system, but even with this step you can avoid inconvenience. With the TSA Precheck program, you can avoid this for a period of five years. For the price of $85, special experts will check your background and conduct a personal interview with you. If you pass the process successfully, you will not have to strip and separate liquid substances from your hand luggage at the check-in.
A 3D scanning system that will be able to determine exactly what is in your luggage should soon be used.
BOARDING
The real revolution comes in the boarding process. We are used to having to show our plane ticket and passport again before boarding the plane. Soon it will be a thing of the past. Flight attendants will be replaced by electronic doors at the entrance to the plane, and in the future they will be recognized by fingerprints and faces.
