check-in kiosk

Airport registration machine

A check-in kiosk is a self-service terminal where travelers can confirm their presence and obtain boarding passes or room keys without waiting for a human agent.

Most common at airports and hotels: I printed my boarding pass at the check-in kiosk.

The machines typically accept credit cards or confirmation numbers and can process basic requests like seat selection or bag tagging.
