What's the problem. You can just walk up to a wall to wall row of
checkin machines and be done in 10 seconds, or stand in line for hours
with 2000 other punters snaking round the tape barriers and check in
the
old fashioned way. Your choice.

The OP made the point that for some people, using the self check
terminal is very difficult.

Perhaps. A lot of people don't even try, or otherwise get distracted
with "I can't do this" rather then looking at the screen.


You are also assuming everybody travelling is able to
understand English, which is what most of these machines
use.

Most of the machhines in the US use English.
I don't most machines in non-English speaking countries to be in English.

That said, it is interesting that sometime in the past yeara, WAMU
(Washington Mutual) in this area has added Russian to their ATMs


Oh, that's for the convenience of all those mail - order Russian brides and
their nubile daughters you are wont to cart over...
