Marc Newson Redesigns Airport Check-In for Qantas

Two years after getting loads of attention for designing fancy airport lounges and the interiors of its newer planes (and winning a few awards for the work along the way), Marc Newson is back working with Qantas on a high-profile project. The airline has announced that Newson has redesigned and overhauled the check-in process for them, creating something called the “Next Generation Check-In,” which involves everything from new kiosks to frequent flier cards with smart chips in them that will handle everything from checking bags to boarding planes.
