    (54) Automatic checkin apparatus


    (57) In an automatic check-in apparatus, an air ticket is received by an air ticket reading section (12) to read the contents recorded on the air ticket; boarding procedure such as seat allocation is effected in communication with a host computer (20) by a boarding procedure processing section (10); and the air ticket on which boarding card data are printed on the basis of boarding procedure by a boarding card data printer (11) is returned to the passenger. This apparatus can save labour necessitated for boarding procedure, improve check-in efficiency, while using an air ticket in common with a boarding card.
