Checking in refers to the process of submitting the registered luggage and getting the boarding pass before taking the flight. Check in used to happen at the airport desks of the airlines since there was no other option. This was the situation till about two decades back when, thanks to the age of internet and computers, it was thought possible to check in using online medium as well. It shall be noted that airline industry was among the first to be using the online ticketing reservation systems and can thus be called as a pioneer in use of internet technology on a wide scale. Indian Airlines have been quick to respond to this change and adopted web based technologies for various functions of airlines. Jet Airways, the leading full-service carrier of India, has been using this medium to provide a range of services besides online ticketing and web check in.
Jet Airways web check in comes with obvious advantages. The first and foremost is the prevention of long queues at the airport check in desk. Considering the increase in volume of air travelers at different airports of India, the long queues would have added to the unmanageable situation at the airports. Web check in has provided a good way out as it not only save being a part of queues but also speeds up the process of boarding the airplane.
Second major advantage is that this process is accessible not only from the computers but also from the mobile devices. Jet Airways web check in is scalable across different devices. If you have a smart phone with internet connectivity, you can either check in by going to the desktop or mobile website of the airline, or can even download the mobile application and check in using it.
Third advantage is that you get the boarding pass on your mobile or in email which can be scanned at airport and print out taken. Indian airport authorities in charge of security require printed boarding passes. This print out can be taken at home or even at your office, saving you time at the airport.
Fourth benefit is of seat selection. Seat selection is guaranteed for Gold and Platinum frequent flyer members while using the online medium. Frequent flyers can also avail of pre-reservation of seats from 331 days in advance of their travel date and up to 48 hours prior to departure of flight.
With these benefits, online check in becomes an attractive medium of getting the boarding pass.
