SAN ANTONIO — The partnership between Metropolis and the San Antonio International Airport promises to make holiday travel seamless with the help of AI. Alex Israel, the CEO and Co-founder of Metropolis explains how it works.
“You’re not fumbling with tickets, you’re not fumbling with credit cards or cash." he said. "You sign up one time. 40 seconds and then every time you come back to San Antonio International Airport, you just drive in, the gate automatically vends, you get a text message.”
The Metropolis team stressed you have to register first – once your license plate is in the system – it’s a one-time registration through a QR code you can find at the airport.
With similar technology, you can leave your luggage, get your boarding pass and bag tag in the self-parking garage. Your luggage will later go through TSA screening.
There's no need to stress as you navigate the airport, if you register in advance of your holiday travel. Another service includes reserving parking spots.
“That will really shift both the vacation experience and the visitor experience for so many people,” Israel said.
If you register for Metropolis before December 20, you'll be eligible for a discount on reservations.
