Virgin passengers offered "seamless" boarding

Virgin Atlantic has announced that it is now allowing passengers to print out boarding passes at home.

Travellers flying to certain destinations can now use pre-printed boarding passes to get through airport checks more quickly, reports Breaking Travel News.

With the pass, passengers will be able to drop off their baggage and head straight to the boarding gate, while those with hand luggage only can go directly to security.

"We are excited to be able to offer this convenient facility to our passengers which means that from the comfort of their own home, they can simply log on, check in and print off the boarding pass ensuring themselves a seamless journey through the airport," commented Steve Ridgway, chief executive of Virgin Atlantic.

The airline already offers online check-in services for those able to connect to its website 24 hours before their flight takes off, as well as check-in via electronic kiosks at the airport.
