Non-stop flying has become even easier with Northwest Airlines’ convenient airport self-service check-in kiosks. Northwest is the first airline to offer travelers in Guam and Saipan the option of using self-service check-in kiosks.

Northwest passengers who have not checked in before arriving at the airport can still avoid lines and get to the departure gate quickly. In as little as 30 seconds a passenger can check-in select a seat print a boarding pass and be on the way to the gate.

Narita International Airport the Guam International Airport and Saipan International Airport are the first airports in Asia to receive the kiosks. Guam received its two kiosks on Aug. l.

They join 750 other Northwest airport self-serve kiosks located at 188 airports around the world.

Passengers can check in from 36 hours to 60 minutes prior to departure. If a return flight is within 36 hours a roundtrip boarding pass may be down-loaded.

If a traveler is flying with cumbersome luggage he or she can use curbside luggage check-in where available or the dedicated luggage check-in counter depending on security check-in procedures.

Richard A. Parsons manager for Northwest Airlines in the Mariana Islands said “The introduction of Northwest’s self-service check-in kiosks in Guam and Saipan will provide travelers with more options to expedite the check-in process and enjoy greater control over their travel experience. Travelers worldwide are embracing the convenience speed and control of Northwest’s customer service technology.”
