Battery power “Check-In Chariots” for UA at LHR!

Battery power “Check-In Chariots” for UA at LHR!

Found this in today’s Sydney “Sun Herald”:

”Chariots are about to be introduced at Heathrow. Battery powered check-in units, known as Chariots, will be operated by United Airlines. Booking clerks in the chariots will be able to go anywhere in the airport to issue tickets, boarding passes and baggage tags.”

(A few of the male UA check-in staff I’ve encountered recently struck me as a bit “Ben-Her” inclined, so this figures!)
