NCR Says Avoid the Lines and “Serve Yourself” This Thanksgiving;
Company Offers Time-Saving and Convenient Self-Service Travel Tips
With a slumping economy, significantly reduced flight options and planes
filled to capacity, something Thanksgiving travelers do have to be
thankful for during the upcoming busiest travel weekend of the year is
self-service travel technology. NCR Corporation (NYSE: NCR), global
leader in self-service technologies, is encouraging travelers to utilize
the self-service travel options at their fingertips this holiday travel
weekend to save time and ease traveling frustrations.
“From ticket booking to hotel check-in, consumers are demanding the best
customer service and relying on self-service options to help them take
control of their travel experience,” said Tania Ladic, NCR vice
president, Travel and Transportation. “With the holidays representing
the busiest and most chaotic travel season, we want to arm travelers
with practical advice to ensure a smooth journey.”
Recent research from NCR shows more than 60 percent of respondents would
choose self-service over personal assistance because it will make their
travel experience faster, easier and more convenient. Further NCR
studies confirm this to be true, showing ticketing wait times
dramatically reduced using self-service ticketing kiosks (averaging less
than one minute) compared to using a counter ticketing agent (averaging
four to six minutes).
NCR tips to “serve yourself” this holiday travel weekend - From
curbside to final destination, NCR offers its top six tips to streamline
the holiday travel experience.
-
Head start: Book your reservation and check in to your flight
online, at home, prior to leaving for the airport.
-
Print your own boarding pass and check your bags: Use
self-service kiosks at the airport to skip the line and check in for
your flight. Also note that most online check-in and self-service
kiosks offer passengers the option to check their bags. Simply
indicate the number of bags that you are checking and proceed to the
bag drop line.
-
Update or upgrade: Check the status of your flight, make
changes to existing flights or get on a different flight all together
by using self-service kiosks at the airport.
-
Fast track your rental: Pick up and return rental cars faster
than before by utilizing one of Hertz's self-service rental kiosks or
the express rental counter.
-
Never get lost: Getting lost will cost you time and
frustration. Rent a car from Hertz equipped with its NeverLost GPS
system to eliminate the debate about which way to go and arrive to
your destination on time.
-
Your key to hotel check-in: You’ve made it this far, now you
can check in to your hotel room hassle-free using a kiosk at hotel
registration to check into your room and get your room keys.
