You Can Now Check In to This Caribbean Airport With Your Phone

By: Caribbean Journal Staff - May 23, 2016

One of the Caribbean’s leading airports has introduced another customer-friendly feature.

Nassau’s Lynden Pindling International Airport has announced the launch of a new Electronic Boarding Pass system.

That means that the 3.2 million passengers traveling through the Bahamas’ major gateway can now check in using their mobile phones.

Everything needed for check-in, security and US Customs and Border Protection clearance can now make it to your phone.

“We are very pleased to have this new system in our terminals to aid in expediting travellers through LPIA.,” said Vernice Walkine, President and CEO of Nassau Airport Development Company. “We do believe that this system along with our BorderXpress Automated Passport Control kiosks, previously installed in USCBP, will further decrease passenger processing time.”

The system means you can choose not to have a printed boarding pass, and if you don’t have baggage to check, you can skip the check-in line and go right to airport security.

“U.S. Customs and Border Protection is proud to work with the stakeholder community at the Lynden Pindling International Airport to implement the Electronic Boarding Pass program,” said Nassau Preclearance Port Director, Jeff Mara. “This initiative further supports the use of technology in the Preclearance process.”
