How are you supposed to scan a boarding pass if there's no kiosk to print one? Are they expecting everyone to print them out at home? Surely not...
This news fills me with discomfort, in the same way that restaurants which lack menus do ("just scan our QR code, then scroll endlessly on your tiny screen!") Really not a fan of bottlenecking every service through smartphones, which are OK for killing time on light entertainment, but really suck for getting anything practical done.

- noahtallen 4y agoAs they mention in the article, 70% already have their boarding pass on their phone already. It’s actually much easier to add a boarding pass to your mobile wallet than it is to do check-in at the airport. Mostly because you get to skip the line and bustle at the airport and do it at your leisure. And once it’s in your mobile wallet, a button to access it appears on your phone screen within a few hours of the flight. So it’s just one tap at the airport. It’s really not a bottleneck, to be honest. It’s a big time-saver for me vs trying to remember where my paper boarding pass ended up.
- marssaxman 4y agoI am one of those 30% and would like to remain in that group, which is the source of my concern. I don't have or want a mobile wallet (assuming that is a generic term for Apple Pay and whatever Google's version is).
- toomuchtodo 4y agoI would like them to use the facial recognition DHS/TSA has and skip the paper altogether.
- zamadatix 4y agoThey can print boarding passes at the counter as well.
- marssaxman 4y agoAh, that's fine then!
