Five Second Check-in With Qantas

Imagine showing up at the airport, dropping your bag and heading to security with only a five second wait upon entering the section where your airline is located.

The plan is for the system to then roll out to other cities in Australia such as Melbourne in 2011. Let’s check out some of the details and determine if this will be successful and what other airlines should take heed and implement a similar program.
