will have the option of using their mobile device to check-in and
receive an electronic boarding pass via their Web-enabled devices.
"Delta's time-saving technology puts customers in control of their
experience and provides them with valuable convenience," said Josh
Weiss, Delta's managing director - delta.com and self service.
"Passengers can now quickly check in and receive a boarding pass
for their Delta, Northwest or Delta Connection flight while en
route to the Memphis International Airport, in a taxi or walking
from the parking lot to the terminal. The check-in process now can
take place from anywhere, any time within 24 hours of flight
departure." How it works: -- Customers traveling in the United
States and checking in for a nonstop flight from Memphis
International Airport may simply download their boarding pass to
their mobile devices via nwa.com or delta.com and proceed directly
to the airport security screening area. -- Customers checking bags
should drop their bags at the baggage drop counter location prior
to proceeding to the security checkpoint. -- At the security
checkpoint, TSA will scan the electronic boarding pass, check the
customer's ID and process the customer through security. --
Customers can then proceed to their departure gate, present their
electronic boarding pass to the gate agent at boarding time and
board with their designated zone. Other airports currently offering
