During the same event, Liow<br />
and his delegates were also<br />
shown the newly installed Auto<br />
Bag-Drop counters. This is yet<br />
another initiative by Malaysia<br />
Airports to further enhance the<br />
travel experience at klia2. This<br />
newly-installed facility enables<br />
guests to check-in their baggage<br />
themselves without having to<br />
endure long queues at normal<br />
check-in counters. The user-friendly<br />
facility will automatically check<br />
flight data, baggage weight and<br />
size allowances as well as number of bags before securely<br />
depositing the bag into the baggage handling system.<br />
On top of walkalators installation, klia2 also provides free<br />
buggy service to passengers. Both domestic and international<br />
passengers who wish to use the buggy service can wait for<br />
the buggies at the designated buggy stations located at the<br />
airside of the terminal.<br />
