1. A method for allocating elevator calls in an elevator system comprising at least one elevator, the elevator system being controlled by an elevator control comprising a destination call allocation control, said method comprising the steps of:
inputting passenger IDs into a I/O-device of the elevator system;
whereafter, based on the passenger ID, issuing a destination call comprising the floor of the I/O-device as a departure floor and a preset or inputted destination floor as a destination floor of the elevator call;
when a new destination call is issued, checking whether or not a destination call is still pending under the same passenger ID; and
if a destination call of a passenger under the same passenger ID is still pending, cancelling either the new call or the pending call,
wherein an allocated elevator is indicated to the passenger via a display of the I/O-device.
