Speeding Flight Check-In at Self-Service Kiosks
By DAVID JONES
Published: February 3, 2004
Do-it-yourself check-in kiosks have sprouted up in airports, and lots more are coming.
Since the fall of 2001, when new security rules slowed passenger check-in to a crawl, airlines have doubled the number of self-service kiosks, to 3,000. Make that 3,001: Today, JetBlue Airways plans to introduce the first of 150 self-service kiosks it will install around the country at its hub terminal at John F. Kennedy International Airport. JetBlue, whose passengers book about 75 percent of their tickets online, worked with I.B.M. to develop a kiosk with extra large interactive screens.</font>

I'm perplexed by this announcement. I used self check-in kiosks in both directions, OAK-JFK, back in November. Is it a new kind of kiosk, or are there just more of them?
