On August 20, reporters learned at Guangzhou Baiyun International Airport that starting from today, some Southern Airlines flights from Guangzhou to Shanghai Hongqiao will continue to cancel the check-in cut-off time, allowing for "boarding at the last minute". On July 8 of this year, Southern Airlines flights between Guangzhou Baiyun International Airport and Beijing Daxing International Airport completely cancelled the check-in cut-off time and introduced the "boarding at the last minute" service, reducing the traditional check-in requirement of arriving 30 to 40 minutes in advance of closing the check-in counter for passengers. Starting today, this measure will be further expanded to apply to a wider range of routes, with the "boarding at the last minute" service continuing to be implemented on Southern Airlines round-trip flights from Guangzhou to Shanghai Hongqiao. Passengers who do not need to check-in luggage only need to complete security checks and arrive at the boarding gate before it closes in order to board.
