Queues
are
probably the most frustrating aspect of air travel
in the current climate you queue for security
checks, queue for passport control and queue for
baggage. But there is one queue that you can choose
to avoid check-in, at the airport.
|
From
1st June only electronic tickets will be
accepted by airlines following IATA's decision
to go paper free throughout the world. With
everything becoming electronic, soon you
will have no choice but to check-in online
and with airlines charging more to check-in
at the airport, why wait?
TMG
Corporate offer online check-in services
through our website
www.tmgcorporate.com. Here you can
check-in for your flight from anywhere at
the touch of a button. Checking in online
is exactly the same as if you were at the
airport but much quicker as you don't have
to get there hours before just to queue.
All you require is your booking reference
number before proceeding to print out your
boarding pass. Once at the airport you can
proceed immediately through security to
the departure lounge or boarding gate.
Airports
now have dedicated bag drop facilities,
so don't feel that you cannot check-in online
if you have hold baggage. If you do not
have access to a printer then you can use
the many self service kiosks at the airport.
Having
all things electronic will save you time
in the long run and help towards the smooth
running of your journey. Online check-in
facilities are updated all of the time to
meet with travellers requirements. So is
there still any need for you to be checking
in at the airport? Go on give it a go today!
For more information about online check-in
please do not hesitate in contacting your
TMG Account Team.

increase by £10 per flight
