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?
Loading boarding passes in Google Wallet is nice, I don’t belive you need internet once it is loaded. The airline apps can be great or mediocre. A positive example was from I flew United in the summer and had a tight layover at a large airport I had never been to. As soon as I landed it popped up and provided the instructions for how to get to my gate. No issues with spam from the apps, I always just delete them when I’m done with the trip as I don’t fly that often.
