From check-in to boarding gate, one system
Handle check-in, boarding, and flight close-out from one screen, with CUTE/CUPPS support and real-time sync to inventory and reservations.
What breaks when departure control is disconnected
Stale passenger data
Check-in staff work from PNL snapshots, not live booking data - missing last-minute changes, cancellations, and seat swaps.
Missed counter revenue
Agents can't sell ancillaries at check-in because DCS doesn't know what the passenger already purchased.
Manual compliance reporting
PNRGOV and API-PNR submissions require manual exports or separate middleware to reach border authorities.
Equipment change chaos
Aircraft swaps mean manually rebuilding seat maps, re-checking passengers, and hoping nothing falls through the cracks.
The last chance to sell - make it count
Agents see exactly what each passenger hasn't purchased yet. Bags, seat upgrades, priority boarding, and excess baggage - one click to add, automatically reflected in the booking.
Compliant from counter to border
Farel's DCS is CUTE/CUPPS certified and runs on shared airport infrastructure - no proprietary hardware. PNRGOV and API-PNR are transmitted automatically to border authorities via SITA, ARINC, MQ, or FTP. Encrypted, protocol-compliant, on schedule.
Real-time sync with
inventory & reservations
Seat sales, flight delays, and equipment swaps are mirrored between DCS, inventory, and reservations in real time. Agents and passengers always see the same data.
Live seat maps and statuses
Availability, check-in progress, and boarding status update across inventory, reservations, and DCS simultaneously.
Equipment swaps update everything same
Aircraft change triggers new seat map, rebased seating algorithm, and passenger notifications across DCS and all channels.
Close-out feeds finance directly
Boarding totals, no-shows, baggage counts, and ancillary revenue publish to finance - no manual reconciliation.

How are no-shows and close-out handled?
What compliance messages does the system generate?
Can agents sell ancillaries and collect excess baggage fees during check-in?
What happens when an aircraft is swapped after check-in opens?
