Solution
A digital queue or a virtual line that people will join using digital technology, such as kiosks and mobile web. It will allow individuals to wait for their turn remotely, receive updates on their position, and eventually be notified when it's their time to proceed with a service or transaction, thus minimizing physical waiting and enhancing convenience.

I like the design idea and would be very helpful because it's too tiring to stand in the line for a long time. Specially, when I have long flights.
-
Interesting but how will I get notified when it's my turn?
-
Good initiative to solve the problem. I travel frequently and when there is disruption then it's annoying to stand in a queue for a long period. Especially with kids.
-
What if I want to leave the queue because my problem has been resolved.
-
Introduce notification system
-
Restrictions: Cannot use push notifications. Can be notified via email but high cost. Can be notified via whatsapp. Relatively cheaper.
-
Allow user to leave the queue whenever they want to.
-
Restrictions: High efforts for the dev. but high usability too.

Tester observation: The user was scrolling back to the top again and again to see her queue number.
-
Would be nice if the flights do not get disrupted at all.
-
Feels like there is too much information to remember. And how do I get informed about my queue number?
-
Its a good solution but not the only solution. As mentioned, it would be nicer if the flights are not even cancelled.
-
Add queue number details at the bottom of the page to aid user in remembering their queue number
-
Improve visual design. Currently, it feels visually heavy.
-
Highlight users personel queue number when it's their turn.
