Passengers will also be able to upload their passports to their phone and travel through airports using their face for verification. Instead of manually checking in, which would let airlines know who intends to board their flights, airlines will instead be alerted when passengers arrive at the airport and their face is scanned.

I flew for work for years, when they treated you half decently.

Fuck that anymore, I'll drive. An elderly family member died last year - I drove 24 hours rather than fly.
