Passengers at Zurich Airport can now drop off their luggage themselves at self-bag drop machines. The service at Check-in 2 and, from the beginning of April, also at Check-in 3 is initially only available to passengers of Swiss, Edelweiss and other Lufthansa Group airlines, the airport announced. Other airlines are to follow. Anyone who has already checked in online at home or on the go and received their boarding pass can now drop off their luggage themselves at the ten self-bag drop machines in Check-in 2, row 5, at Zurich Airport. From the beginning of April, a further ten machines will be available to Lufthansa Group passengers in Check-in 3. Passengers can drop off their luggage at the new machines from 23 hours before their flight during the respective operating hours. Baggage drop in three steps In order to use the self-bag drop service, passengers must have already checked in online with the relevant airline and received their boarding pass. The boarding pass is scanned at the Self Bag Drop, the luggage is placed on the conveyor belt, the luggage label is printed out and attached to the luggage, unless this has already been done at home. The luggage is then fed fully automatically into the luggage sorting system at Zurich Airport via the Self Bag Drop machines using a conveyor belt. The Self Bag Drop service is currently available to passengers of Swiss, Edelweiss, Lufthansa and Austrian Airlines. "The Self Bag Drop service enables different airlines to be checked in at the same counter. This increases flexibility in the check-in process and increases convenience for passengers through additional luggage drop-off points," says Roman Jung, Self Bag Drop project manager at Zurich Airport AG.
