SINGAPORE - More travellers departing Singapore are opting to check in early for their flights at Jewel Changi Airport, with about 14,000 passengers doing so in May at a dedicated facility in the retail complex.
Passengers can check in through the Jewel lounge as early as 24 hours before their flights, depending on the airline and destination, or between five and 3½ hours before their flights at another dedicated early check-in lounge at Terminal 1 that currently serves six airlines.Throughout June so far, more than 500 passengers have used the Jewel facility daily, with almost 800 passengers recorded in a single day on June 4.
However, some airlines, such as SIA and Qatar Airways, offer early check-in only for selected destinations, while others like Emirates and KLM offer the service only at certain times. Open from 9am to 2pm and 6.30pm to 7.30pm, the lounge currently serves Air China, China Southern Airlines, Chongqing Airlines, Hebei Airlines, Shenzhen Airlines and Xiamen Airlines.
CAG said it continues to engage airlines to encourage them to offer early check-in services. It said carriers stand to benefit from shorter queues at terminal counters during regular check-in hours. Ms Ng Hui Wen, CAG’s senior manager for airport operations planning, said: “Early check-in options provide passengers with greater convenience, and enable them to experience the wealth of attractions in the airport and in Jewel with peace of mind.”
