Six luxury hotels near Mumbai airport come up with airport check-in kiosks for guests

The Mumbai airport has come up with a unique initiative to make check-in for airline passengers a breeze and save their precious time. Reportedly, six posh hotels near Mumbai airport have now been outfitted with facility to check-in as well as collect boarding pass and baggage tag.

The chosen hotels are namely Hyatt Regency, Taj Santacruz, Hilton Mumbai International Airport, ITC Maratha, Sahara Star and The Lalit. According to news reports, five more hotels will be chosen for this job in near future. However, there were already three hotels/lounges situated on the airport premises that were one of the first to provide check-in kiosks.
The well-thought of development helps air flyers to check-in beforehand at the kiosks placed at the aforementioned hotels, print their boarding pass and collect the baggage tags. Once this gets done, the fliers have to drop their luggage at the ‘self bag drop’ facility and go forth for security clearance.

Currently, a fully automated check-in facility is available only at Mumbai airport’s Terminal 1. Almost all domestic, economy airlines like SpiceJet, GoAir, and Indigo provide self-bag drop system to their passengers. Reportedly, the number of check-in counters at the Mumbai airport has been significantly increased from 250 to 315 in number since a few years. The self-service facility at the Mumbai airport has cut down the queues at check-in desks.
