Automatic bag check-in

Passengers can now cut waiting times and minimize human contact with the advent of the machine that is used to check their luggages thoroughly. This feature has now been implemented among the passengers departing from Amsterdam airport. They are asked to place their luggage into a large, white colored machine. After scanning their boarding pass and answering the usual security questions via a touch screen the intended machine weighs the placed luggage and prints out a label. This printed output is attached in the passenger’s suitcase. The luggage will be subjected to a similar security screening at each counter.
