Pre-airport check-in

A booking system which permits business travellers to skip the ordeal of the airport check-in desk is being pioneered by a Warwick firm.

Travel Management Group, in Dormer Place, Leamington, in partnership with British Airways, is looking at ways to reduce the time taken for travellers to be processed as US immigration officials demand increasingly more detailed information about travellers before allowing them into the States. TMG is building up detailed profiles of clients, gathering information regularly demanded by US immigration which is emailed ahead to the airport for the executive.
