1.What is Self Service Check-in?

CSAir Self Service Check-in is a convenient way of going through the relevant procedures by passenger themselves. The self-service check-in is a new way of check-in which is distinguished from the traditional check-in counters. There is no need for the passengers who use the self-service equipment to wait for print boarding passes and to allocate seats by airport clerks. Instead, passengers can access all their flight data with the specific check-in certificate at the self-service equipment, and select their seats, validate related check-in information and finally get their boarding passes according to screen prompts.
