Air Jamaica launched a new function on its
Web site, at www.airjamaica.com, which enables passengers to
check-in online four to 18 hours prior to scheduled departures from
Kingston and Montego Bay, Jamaica; Miami; and Fort Lauderdale.
The Web Check-In
(WCI) enables passengers with electronic tickets to check in for
their flight, select a seat and print a confirmation. At the
airports, passengers then proceed to special WCI counters to pick
up their boarding passes.
Travelers with
baggage to be checked can arrive 90 minutes before their scheduled
departure; international passengers with no checked bags can arrive
60 minutes prior to departure; and passengers traveling within
Jamaica with no checked bags can arrive 45 minutes before
departure.
The electronic
check-in feature will be offered at additional gateways in the
coming months, according to Paul Pennicook, Air Jamaica's senior
vice president, sales and marketing.
