Hi Capetonian....hope you are well
Just wondering about this..looking at the age profile of a lot of EZY pax especially in the summer months, many give the impression of being,shall we say, pre computer/printout era, without wishing to be unkind. If there is still one desk open then many of them will make a beeline for it and bring the whole thing to a halt.
Whether bag drops are quicker is a moot point, but seeing as airlines rent their desks by the hour, the bottom line demands that this is the future..
Airports love it, they can take out the check in desks and build more shops
