Check-in: Difference between revisions

Many offices have a reception or [[front office]] area near the entrance to greet or assist visitors arriving to attend a meeting. A [[receptionist]] may ask visitors who they are to meet and may ask them to sign a register. The receptionist may give a visitor instructions as to where to go or inform the host that his guest has arrived. The visitor may be issued with a visible visitor’s pass, often worn around the neck.

Auto check-in is usually provided by the airline on the website or via the mobile application during the [[Computer reservation system|reservation]]/[[booking]]{{dndisambiguation needed|date=May 2022}} of the flight or can be added to an existing reservation/booking some hours before the scheduled time of the departure of the flight (this is, the time communicated at the time of the reservation/booking or later, by airline due to schedule changes; delays cannot be considered as schedule change). When auto check-in is completed a [[boarding pass]] is provided before departure.
