What is virtual customer queuing?
How does virtual queuing work?
The passengers simply book their slot online – either at home as part of their journey preparations or upon arrival at the airport. Typically slots are offered in 15-minute intervals. The virtual customer queuing solution can be fully white labelled and presented to the passenger for instance as part of a digital marketplace or the airport website. When the virtual queuing slot is booked, a QR code is sent to the passenger as confirmation. The QR code is then validated at the touchpoint – either using an e-gate or by an agent and the passenger is let through the dedicated lane/check-point.Â
If you’re looking for a way to improve passenger satisfaction and reduce wait times, virtual queuing is definitely worth considering.
The airport benefits of virtual customer queuing?
Virtual queuing can provide a number of benefits for businesses and passengers alike. Virtual customer queuing is a great way to improve the passenger experience and can be used in a variety of different ways to suit the needs of your business.
For businesses, virtual queuing can help to improve passenger satisfaction and reduce wait times. This allows passengers to wait in a virtual line rather than a physical one when waiting for check-in, passing through security, or boarding the airplane. It can also help to free up staff resources, and improve service efficiency, as the virtual customer queuing solution allows you to influence passenger behavior. When passengers are nudged to arrive ahead of peaks you will flatten the passenger arrival curve to the benefit of all. Last but not least for larger operations you can use VQ to lead balance passengers thereby ensuring most optimal use of your infrastructure.
For passengers, a virtual queue can provide a more convenient way to wait in line, as well as the ability to queue from anywhere. Queuing virtually allows passengers to do other things in the airport while waiting in line, such as shopping, dining, and experiencing the rest of the airport opportunities.

Optimize the passenger experience with our virtual queuing solution
Our queuing solution is live in multiple airports, among others Seattle-Tacoma Int. Airport (SEA). The SEA virtual queuing solution has proven extremely successful and has more or less been sold out since day one. Passenger surveys show that 63% of passengers spend more time shopping, eating, and drinking as an effect of the virtual customer queuing processing and 96% say they are happy or extremely happy about the experience.
In addition, this way of queuing has proven very effective when it comes to peak shaving and thus helps to decrease wait times resulting in a safer travel environment. At SEA, they have managed to skim 25% of peak hour demand during the first few months alone.
One thing is a safer travel environment, but the key to utilize the virtual queue solution to the fullest potential is by evaluating the data coming from the solution. This will help the airport secure the best passenger experience. The only requirement for the airport is supplying a flight schedule. From here the Concept of Operations and passenger outreach can be discussed and the virtual customer queuing system implemented.

Virtual Queuing benefits from a passenger perspective
The airport travel experience begins the moment the passenger steps into the airport. Passing through the airport should be an experience of excitement for what new experiences that are laying ahead at the passenger’s destination. Passing through the airport should not be an experience of long wait times in crowded lines together with frustrated fellow passengers.
From a passenger perspective, virtual queuing is a terrific solution to avoid frustration and stress of waiting in line at the airport. One of the most significant benefits of virtual customer queuing is reduced wait times. With virtual queuing, passengers no longer have to stand in long, physically crowded lines. Instead, they can queue virtually, from the comfort of their own homes, from the airport kiosks, or a cosy café. Not only will they save time but it also reduces stress and frustration, making the airport experience more enjoyable.
Another benefit of virtual customer queuing is better time management for the passenger giving them the option to shop, eat at the airport, or simply relax and enjoy the airport experience.Â
