At airports, I’ve always waited in line to get a printed boarding pass. Time for a change I guess.
Apparently I can check online and print my boarding pass as a pdf at home or even download the airline’s app and get a qr code to print the boarding pass at a kiosk inside the airport. Do I need an active internet connection at the airport to use the kiosk? I wont have internet there.
My airline explains they can send a pdf copy of the boarding pass to my email address. Is it really not a problem to print my boarding pass on regular office paper and not on cardboard airlines use?
If I download the airline’s app to get the qr code to print the boarding card at the kiosk, will the airline spam me with ads I don’t want?
Can I both print the boarding pass at home AND get the qr code to print the boarding pass at the kiosk?
Apparently there is something called ‘receive boarding pass by sms’. How does this work?
No, my phone went into SOS mode yesterday. No apps, just a button to call 911. And yes, if you lose a ticket, you can indeed miss a flight. Only tale I have for that is a colleague who lost their ticket and the time it took to look up their details put them past boarding, they were stranded at the terminal, but its still an actual risk you can’t wave away.
It takes 5 minutes to save an insane amount of stress and misfortune.
