Upon arrival to the airport, passengers without check-in baggage can proceed directly through immigration, bypassing queues at the regular check-in counters.

The Mobile Check-In function is Cathay Pacific Airways' latest self check-in function. It allows passengers with a Web-enabled mobile phone or handheld device to check in where wireless access to the Internet is available.

Passengers using the Mobile Check-In function can check in, select their preferred seats, and obtain a barcode on their mobile device. They can print their boarding pass by scanning their barcode at self check-in kiosks at the airport.

Lawrence Fong, manager of e-Business at Cathay Pacific said: "It's clear that our passengers want to be able to take more control over their own journey. We've seen an exponential growth in our online and mobile services in recent months and we'll continue to ease the travel experience for our passengers by rolling out more self-service functions in the coming year."
