Ahead of the golden holiday, Jeju Air introduces services and benefits to enhance travel convenience, from securing seats to departure procedures and perks enjoyed at travel destinations.

Jeju Air passengers can utilize Incheon International Airport's facial recognition departure service, 'Smart Pass,' including its pre-booking service for checked baggage. After mobile check-in one day before departure, passengers can reserve their baggage drop-off time via the Smart Pass app, allowing them to quickly check in their luggage at a dedicated back-drop counter without waiting in line on the day of departure.

Smart Pass also enables facial recognition identity verification at both the departure hall and boarding gates, reducing the time required for departure procedures.

The number of Jeju Air passengers using Smart Pass increased from approximately 9,700 in February this year, when pilot operations began, to around 48,000 in August, recording a monthly growth rate of 30.5%.

Jeju Air is the only national airline operating a 'Standby Reservation Service' for passengers who could not secure seats due to sold-out flights.

The standby reservation service allows users to select their desired fully booked flight on the website, mobile app, or web portal and apply for one-way travel. Upon application, real-time standby queue numbers can be checked, and if a seat becomes available, confirmation notifications are sent via Talk messages, text messages, or email. Applications for domestic flights can be made up to four days before departure, while international flight applications are accepted up to seven days prior.

Even during the holiday period, Jeju Air continues to offer discounts and additional benefits to passengers by collaborating with various partners at its destinations, including hotels, tourist attractions, car rentals, and travel platforms.

A Jeju Air official, speaking on the phone with this newspaper, advised, "During the holiday period, when passenger traffic increases, utilizing useful services such as standby reservations and Smart Pass can help travelers prepare their schedules more conveniently."
