check-in agent

Airport desk worker

A check-in agent is an airline employee who processes passengers at the airport counter before a flight.

They verify identification, issue boarding passes, check luggage, and assign seats: The check-in agent upgraded us to business class.

The role has diminished as self-service kiosks and mobile check-in have become standard.
