Singapore is testing a new airport check-in system that would allow a passenger to pass through in less than two minutes, the TODAY newspaper reports.
That's at least four times faster than the current average of eight to 15 minutes for each check-in.
The Fully Automated Seamless Travel, or FAST system, billed as the world's first, combines five different check-in processes into one, the newspaper reported.
With a single Fast card containing biometrics information on the traveler's fingerprint and facial features, passengers can check in, select their seats and collect their boarding pass all at once.
