Futuristic travel

Seattle Airport recently ''OrderSEA'' introduced a mobile ordering service that connects travelers with 16 restaurants at the airport, allowing you to quickly pick up an order at McDonalds, for example, when you are short on time. The new service now also includes gate delivery from robot Gita, which makes it possible to deliver orders from restaurants at Seattle Airport to any point in the airport. In addition to time, according to the airport commissioner, traveling will also reduce stress, for example if you can skip a busy line at a restaurant. 

Robot Gita can store up to 18 kilos of food and deliver it to the terminal for a fee of €2,55. For the time being, the robot is still accompanied by a human, but as demand for the service increases, several Gitas will soon drive around the terminals unaccompanied. 

In addition to the ultra-modern delivery robot, Seattle Airport will also soon make it possible to reserve a time slot for the security check and to reserve a parking space. Speaking of futuristic travel…
