That is because new facial recognition technology will make your face your ticket onto the plane. “Airports around the world are rolling out facial-recognition technology in an attempt to improve security and reduce the painful boarding process,” writes Leslie Josephs. In fact, Paris’ Charles de Gaulle Airport is testing the technology along with KLM at Schiphol Airport and Japan is planning to use the technology. “Passengers must register at a kiosk near the gate to participate by scanning their passports, boarding passes, and, of course, their faces. Three-dimensional facial recognition scans measure dozens of features such as jawline and distance between the eyes,” says Josephs. READ MORE: Best Layover Tips From Travel Agents Facial recognition isn’t the only way biometric data is being used to speed the airport screening process. “In the US, Global Entry patrons enter via booths that check people’s identities against biometric data.
