Air New Zealand domestic services i

Air New Zealand domestic services introduced a self-check-in process allowing passengers with bags to arrive and check-in at the self-service kiosks with luggage up to 25 min prior to departure time.[1][2] Passengers then attach the baggage tag and drop the bag themselves at the baggage drop belt. However, passengers without checked luggage can go straight to the lounge (if entitled to lounge access) and check in at the kiosk there using their ePass (a small RFID device only for its premium customers)[3] or proceed straight to the departure gate when boarding using either their ePass or mPass (an application which can be downloaded or installed onto mobile phones to work as an electronic boarding pass).[4]

KLM also since 2008 provides a self-service bag drop counter at Schiphol International Airport,[5] and Lufthansa does the same in Frankfurt International Airport and Munich International Airport.[6] Air France use the uDrop baggage drop solution at Paris-Charles de Gaulle Terminal 2F as well as in Nice Airport, the kiosk was developed by COFELY (GDF-Suez group) and is also used at Montreal Trudeau by Westjet. Stockholm-Arlanda Airport introduced self-service bag drop in 2012[7]

It is expected that self-service bag drop will be much more common
