QF int’l mobile check-in

QANTAS has confirmed it is now possible to use mobile check-in and receive a digital boarding pass across most of its international network.

The carrier has moved swiftly to extend the functionality, following a regulation change announced by Federal Minister for Citizenship Alan Tudge earlier this week ( TD 06 Aug).

As well as allowing digital boarding passes on domestic services, Qantas also added the option on trans-Tasman flights last year ( TD 19 May 2017).

QF digital boarding passes for international services are now available via web and mobile check-in on the Qantas App and the carrier’s website.

Previously customers who checked in for international flights online were required to print their boarding pass at home or at the airport.

The change applies to most QF international flights departing Australia and also on most services departing from ports overseas, with current exceptions including the US, China, Indonesia, Singapore and the Philippines.

Customers departing Singapore will be able to access digital boarding passes from later this month, while the option is expected to be available for US departures from Oct 2018.

Qantas said pax could now finalise check-in and passport checks online & head straight to the lounge or boarding gate after passing through immigration.
