Another innovation launched by Virgin Blue (since renamed Virgin Australia) last week, brings a kerbside check-in service and valet parking for its business, premium economy and Gold Velocity passengers at Sydney Airport’s Terminal 2.
Domestic passengers travelling without luggage now have their own entrance, check-in and security screening point that allows them to bypass the general departure hall and go straight into the Virgin Blue lounge. A spokeswoman for the airline says the process could take as little as 45 seconds. Premium passengers with luggage will be able to use the entrance but will need to check-in as usual.
