Singapore Airlines customers who check in online and travel without check-in baggage can now look forward to a new check-in experience, with the Passenger Reconciliation System (PRS) for its flights at Terminals 2 and 3.
Currently, customers with self-printed boarding passes are required to present their travel documents at the check-in counters for verification and endorsement. This is the case even for customers who travel without check-in baggage. Only after all documents have been verified can customers then proceed to the immigration access point. With PRS, customers departing Changi Airport without check-in baggage can proceed directly to the immigration access point, where security officers with 2D barcode scanners will verify their self-printed boarding passes.
