Ryanair
is to start charging online check-in passengers for
its priority boarding service. The service has been
free, but from now online passengers will be charged
£4, the same amount as is charged for the service
at airport check-in.

BMI
is trialling a paperless boarding
system at Heathrow. The airline sends travellers their
boarding pass in a text message once they have checked-in
online. The text contains a two-dimensional bar code
which is scanned at security and the boarding gate.
The carrier believes it will cut down the time spent
by passengers at the airport. Like a boarding pass
printed at home, the bar code text means passengers
can bypass the check-in desk at the airport and proceed
directly to the gate. However, the bar code will work
only once to prevent the system being abused.
The service is available on BMI services from Heathrow
to Edinburgh, Manchester and Belfast City. It will
be rolled out on other services if the trial is successful.

Northwest
and KLM have launched Heathrow to Seattle flights.
The joint venture between the two airlines started

for a newcomer to open up the Heathrow to Seattle
route has been made possible by the Open Skies agreement.
