As a regular flyer one of my pet hates is checking-in. First of all you need to turn up a couple of hours before your flight (some flights require 3 hours). Then by the time you get to the front of the line all the decent seats have been taken. Even if you get a good seat outbound, chances are you will get the naff aisle seat by the rest room on the return. So from now on I think I will make use of what looks like a promising airline check-in service.
CheckMeIn offers to take the pain away from flight check-in by doing all the leg work for you. Its simple and cheap. Before your flight, and before check-in opens, you go online and enter your flight details and pay them €7 per flight. The you sit back. When check-in opens, the folks at CheckMeIn will check you in and grab the best seat available. You can choose to have your boarding pass emailed to you, or faxed through to your office or hotel, or even collect it at the airport.
They currently have relationships with 15 airlines:
AirBerlin, Air Canada, AirFrance, Aer Lingus, Austrian, Brussels Airlines, BMI, British Airways, Continental Airlines, Cathay Pacific, Delta, Emirates, Iberia, KLM, TAP Portugal, Lufthansa, North West Airlines, Scandinavian Airlines, Singapore airlines, Swiss, Turkish Airlines, Transavia, United, Vueling.
