Airline check-in from mobile phones
12 October 2007Major airlines have agreed on a standard that will allow travellers to check in using a bar code sent to their mobile phones.
Passengers will register their number when buying a ticket and receive a bar code by text message, the International Air Transport Association, which represents most commercial carriers, said.
Check-in staff will scan the bar code directly from the phones, doing away with the need for a boarding pass.
