For long haul outbound flights, the need for a 2 hour check-in adds dramatically to the wait, even though the check-in process is very similar to short-haul flights with a 40 minute or 1 hour check-in. There may be a legitimate need for extra loading time for larger long-haul jets such as the Boeing 747 or Airbus A380, but not that much and lots of airlines and airports are recognising this by offering much shorter minimum timings, particularly for online checkin. We also know that check-in times are sometimes not always dependent on the airline, but the time needed to complete the various airport processes e.g. security checks. While welcoming the progress made so far, we call on airlines and airport operators to work together to reduce further the need for long check-in times so that passengers can get through our airports as fast as possible.
