Jazeera Airways launches full web-check-in service for travelers from Beirut

- Travelers can now check-in online from 11 cities served by Jazeera Airways

- Enables travelers to skip the check-in queue

- Customers traveling light can report directly to immigration with a web-printed boarding pass

Beirut, November 11, 2012 — Cutting pre-flight waiting time in half, award-winning Jazeera Airways today launched a full web-check-in service for Beirut travelers that enables them to check-in comfortably from their home or office, print their boarding passes on any printer and report directly to immigration when flying without checked-in baggage.

Travelers flying with checked-in baggage can also take advantage of the web-check-in service and are only required to drop their baggage at the dedicated fast baggage-drop counter, bypassing all check-in queues.

Jazeera Airways Regional Sales Manager Levant, Bernard Matta, said, “This is great news for Beirut travelers.  Thanks to web-check-in, travelers no longer have to report to the airport up to three hours before their flights.”

Jazeera Airways Beirut travelers may check-in as early as 24 hours before their flight, and as late as one hour before their flight. They may also choose their seat while checking-in online as well.

Online check-in is also available in Kuwait, Dubai, Bahrain, Amman, Jeddah, Riyadh and four of the six destinations Jazeera Airways serves in Egypt: Cairo, Alexandria, Luxor and Sohag.

The airline operates a two-class cabin comprised of a Business Class and an Economy Class.  Business Class travelers get both an upgraded experience and exclusivity, starting with exclusive check-in lines, business lounge access, up to 60 kilograms in free baggage allowance, and an exclusive on-board cabin. The airline’s Economy Class offers travelers free baggage allowance of 40 kilograms and free on-board meals with a changing menu every month.

Jazeera Airways was ranked the highest in on-time performance (OTP) in the Middle East in the month of September 2012, as measured by FlightStats, the US-based global OTP tracker. The airline’s OTP for September 2012 was 96%.

Jazeera Airways is an IATA-member airline and operates one of the youngest Airbus A320 fleets across the Middle East.
