I know all that stuff is there somewhere but given the fairly low standard of some recent checkin agents (I'm mostly in Australia) I think a more intuitive intro screen would help.
Oh I quite agree. The travel industry (airlines and hotels) with their legacy systems are truly way behind. I guess it all depends on the training, if any: Make sure you check the client's status and welcome them accordingly and go through the script: appreciate their loyalty, explain welcome drink, check for upgrade. None of this is rocket science.
