Description:

Air New Zealand were the first Airport to offer self check-in, where passengers could check in just 10 minutes before boarding. Self check in mean't that people who had booked online could just put their tickets into a machine at the airport, choose their seats and then board the plane if they had no luggage to send through onto the plane. This had a huge effect on the Travel and Tourism sector as it shortened queues and you did not have to wait as long to check in.
