QF Automated Boarding Gate - Sydney Domestic

[Quickstatus]

2) QF (or maybe SYD) are already known to overspec things. 321XLR for SYD -MEL ? I

Please don't give the airline any enhancement ideas......

I am always asked for a form of ID at check-in. Perhaps you mean people with no luggage

QANTAS check-in? and a booking linked to your FF acc?

I don't recall I've being asked for ID for a domestic only flight. I usually do OLCI, self-serve bag drop at the airport (when not HLO) and board plane.

Used it the other day and what was different is that no SC have posted to my a/c at all for that sector
However flights following day were in QFF a/c shortly after landing (as is usual).
So I guess I will phone up to prompt

You mean the new auto gate? Someone forgot to plug something in?

Having used biometrics to breeze through Incheon security and for boarding Aisiana flights in Korea, and to walk up and board the Keisei Skyliner in Japan, I have no issue whatsoever with Qantas turning on Biometrics.

It's fast, you skip queues for security checks (you have a dedicated biometrics queue at Incheon which is faster than even the priority queue).

If I recall, Japan Airlines is also using automatic boarding gates with no biometric, even if it was allowed for the future.
You simply just scan the boarding pass, or tap your JCB card and the gate will open. If there's issues, there are 2 Japan Airlines staff who are at the gate to assist.
Back to Qantas, I sincerely hope I will be able to simply scan my Frequent Flyer card to allow access.

Or to see if passengers are bringing in excessive cabin baggage?

JAL have a setup for biometric check-in and boarding (international) - you need to register your face. I beleve they are working on implementing this for domestic.
