Hongqiao's T2 goes paperless
A passenger scans an identity card to enter the security check channel at the Hongqiao airport's T2.
Paperless check-in and boarding procedures now cover all domestic flights at Hongqiao International Airport's T2.
From Monday, passengers can use a QR code sent by airlines to their mobile phone when they book a flight to complete check-in, customs clearance, immigration inspection, security checks and boarding.
They can also shop at duty-free stores by scanning the code on their phone.
Passengers with large luggage still need to check it in at the airline’s counter, but they can complete check-in with their mobiles.
Previously, such paperless check-in and boarding procedures were available for flights of Spring Airlines and Cathay Pacific at Hongqiao's T1. Pudong airport began the same paperless service in October last year.
An airline staff member scans the QR code on a passenger's mobile phone before boarding.
