Air Canada adds self-tagging to kiosks
December 26, 2007
The Globe and Mail: Air Canada persuaded you to check yourself in and print your own boarding pass. Now Canada's largest airline wants you to take care of your own bags. Consumers are expected to save time by "self-tagging" luggage after using electronic check-in kiosks at airports, says Air Canada chief executive Montie Brewer. The same kiosks that spit out boarding passes have been reprogrammed to also print baggage tags as part of a trial project in Toronto, Montreal and Vancouver.
