LegCo Panel on Transport visits in-town check-in service at the Airport Express (with photos)
The Legislative Council Panel on Transport visited the in-town check-in service at the Airport Express Hong Kong Station today (27 February) to learn about the latest facilities of in-town check-in and self baggage drop-off services.
Members first received a briefing on the operation of in-town check-in service and check-in baggage system by the representatives of MTR Corporation Limited (“MTRCL”) at the Airport Express Hong Kong Station. They noted that as air travel gradually resumed, MTRCL had recommenced the in-town check-in service at Hong Kong Station since July 2023, with a view to facilitating a more convenient and relaxing experience for travellers. Members expressed concern that in-town check-in service at the Kowloon Station was not yet available, and urged MTRCL to actively discuss with airline companies to resume relevant service as soon as possible.
Members then toured the four self-service bag drop counters newly introduced since 1 February 2024, which work with smart check-in kiosks to provide one-stop smart self-services for travellers. Passengers who have completed online check-in can use the smart check-in kiosks to print their boarding passes and baggage tags. They can proceed to the self-service bag drop counters for baggage check-in afterwards.
Members participating in the visit were the Panel Chairman Hon CHAN Han-pan, Deputy Chairman Hon Dominic LEE Tsz-king and Panel members Hon CHAN Pui-leung and Hon YIM Kong.
