Airline to Speed Check-ins with Stickers; NFC App Likely to Follow

Scandinavian Airlines will issue contactless stickers to its top frequent fliers, enabling them to check in faster at the airlines self-service kiosks, lounges and gates.

SAS plans to issue the passive contactless stickers to 50,000 of its "EuroBonus Gold members" starting in September 2011. They could attach the stickers to the back of their phone and tap them on readers at the kiosks, lounges and boarding gates or other check-in points to automatically transmit their membership numbers. The system would be able to identify the customers and call up their flight details more quickly.
