Finnair Introduces Mobile Check-In Service

In what it calls a first in international air travel, Finnair says it will let its frequent fliers check in using text messages on mobile phones as of October, reports The Associated Press.

"The program will let those passengers who have only carry-on luggage go directly to the departure gate, bypassing ordinary check-in procedures.

Once passengers have activated the service, they will automatically receive a check-in text message from Finnair before a flight with details, including the seat number. A passenger need only send a reply to confirm the seat assignment."
