Say goodbye to the temporary wall in Columbia Metropolitan Airport’s (CAE) ticket counter area.

The first phase of the in-line baggage project is now complete. Though the remaining phases of the system are still in the works, the new ticket counters are open for business. When the project is complete, passengers will be able to check bags where they pick up tickets.

Wallet? Check. Phone? Check. Faster check-in? Check.
