Continental tests 'self-boarding' at Houston airport
Boarding a plane without an agent to inspect or take your pass has arrived in the USA. Continental Airlines has confirmed it's testing the procedure at a gate at its hub in Houston Intercontinental. It's the first experiment at what's called "self-boarding" in the U.S. (www.usatoday.com) Más...Sort type: [Top] [Newest]
I can only imagine the mad rush to be the first one on board to cram all their carry-ons into the overhead bins, hogging the aisles so no one can get past. Customer service has gone to hell!
I propose a large hydraulic ram on the cockpit door. This can be used to motivate the woman I traveled with last month who chose to repack her suitcase in the aisle while other folks were held up boarding. But seriously folks, my son who lives in New Zealand, says it works very well.
Welcome to era of the "Air Greyhound".....
No more customer service, huh.
Its not like you have customer service now. Boarding agents most of time do not do their job anyway.
Will their fare decrease in proportion?
The airlines are doing away with the human factor. No agents.
