Check-in first for Flybe

Flybe will be the first UK airline to offer automatic check-in when you book tickets on-line. Between 36 and 15 hours before departure, an electronic boarding pass will automatically be sent to your smart phone or e-mail.

The new service, from Tuesday December 11, is being introduced initially at nine of Flybe’s largest airports – Belfast City, Birmingham, Edinburgh, Exeter, Glasgow, Jersey, Gatwick, Manchester and Southampton – with automated e-mail check-in only available from an additional 17 airports.

Simon Lilley, Flybe’s marketing director, said: “We are delighted to have become the first airline in the UK to offer this slick time-saving benefit for our passengers. When you book your flight on our website and choose the automatic check-in option we automatically check you in and send your electronic boarding pass to you 36 -15 hours prior to departure – we do it all for you. For those that choose the SMS option, all they will simply need to show is their phone to pass through security and board the plane.”
