In what Amsterdam Schiphol Airport is calling a world first, passengers on KLM flights departing Amsterdam will be able to check their own bags using self-service kiosks to check in and new luggage handling machines to weigh and label their bags.

The new trial system, launched on Friday, is designed to make the check-in process easier and, eventually, completely self-service. For the time being, airline employees still check passengers’ passports as they accept checked bags, but passport scanners that will do this without human assistance are planned next steps.

This new option for travelers further solidifies Amsterdam Schiphol as one of the world’s best, most innovative airports. Along with offering travelers the aforementioned check-in convenience found nowhere else, the transportation hub is also home to the first CitizenM Hotel, officially opened last week, and is the only airport I’ve run across that promotes its accessibility to cyclists, thanks to bike paths circling the airport property.
