- criddell 3y agoThey do check that you have a boarding pass but they don't need you to present one. Your identification is all that's needed.
- lxgr 3y agoAs I understand it, the data is linked in the background in some airports, i.e. they just check if there's any boarding pass in your name (and presumably date of birth to disambiguate; most if not all airlines collect it nowadays) in the system.
- pxx 3y agoThey check for exactly one bp for the happy case. If it's zero or 2+, they ask for a boarding pass.
- pxx 3y agoThey do if you have multiple valid boarding passes leaving that airport the same day. The flow is present ID -> machine says "multiple flights, scan bp for one of them"
