Isn't this solved by mobile devices and LTE? You can just show them a QR code that's emailed to your phone, both at the TSA checkpoint and at the terminal. I never print my ticket out anymore (and don't have a printer to do so).
- MichaelCrawford 11y agoMy mother is quite happy with her $35.00 Walmart pay-as-you go phone. For quite a long time I struggled to convince her to learn how to use its contacts list, but always she refused. For years, she had the idea that leaving her phone powered off would save her money. She finally relented when I pointed out to her that I might need to reach her in an emergency. My aunt - her identical twin sister - absolutely adores me, just loves to see me in person, but cannot bear to speak to me on the phone for longer than just one or two minutes. This because she has the idea that long distance service is exhorbitantly expensive. I can still remember when we lived in Italy, and Mom needed to call her sister, who was coming to visit. We all got up real early in the morning. Mom requested a call to the US from the International Operator, then Mom, my own sister and I took turns waiting by the phone, so we could pick it up right away when the International Operator called us back with an available line.
- domas 11y agoI had similar issue where my grandmother would not talk more than one minute when I'm calling from abroad. Trick that worked on her was telling her that I have "free minutes" so she does not need to worry about the cost.
