Now flyers can check-in luggage at Hyderabad Airport parking

Hyderabad: The Rajiv Gandhi International Airport in Hyderabad has introduced a self-check-in facility which enables passengers to check in, drop off their baggage, and obtain their boarding passes at the car parking level, before entering the terminal building.

Significantly enhancing the airport experience and streamlining the departure process, the city-side self-check-in facility provides a range of self-service amenities. The city-side check-in facility opens six hours before the flight and closes one hour before departure.

Passengers can use self-check-in kiosk boarding cards in conjunction with their Aadhaar ID at the entry gate, offering added convenience and security. The city-side check-in services are available for regular-sized baggage only.

Passengers can use self-check-in kiosks, stay informed with flight information display systems, and drop their baggage at the self-baggage drop counters. In line with the ‘Passenger is Prime’ motto, the airport’s passenger service associates will be available to assist passengers to ensure a smooth and enjoyable experience.

Passengers can make use of the self-check-in facility through a simple two-step procedure:

Step 1: Check in at the Kiosks

- Passengers can use the self-service check-in kiosks at the entry of the facility for a regular check-in process. At check-in, passengers will receive their boarding pass and bag tags, which they need to tag to their baggage.

Step 2: Self-Baggage Drop

- Passengers can then proceed to the self-bag drop unit and place their baggage on the conveyor belt.

- At the self-bag drop unit, the baggage is processed, and a confirmation message is sent to the respective airline. An acknowledgement is sent to passengers whose bags have been processed.

SGK Kishore, ED South and chief innovation officer, GMR Airports, stated, “We are excited to introduce the city-side check-in facility to the passengers. We are always looking for innovative solutions to make the airport experiential. This feature of the airport offers that experience to our passengers. It is a significant step toward alleviating congestion within the terminal building and offering passengers a more relaxed, efficient, and stress-free start to their journeys.”
