New York Times Practical Traveler, Susan Stellin, took her smart phone on a test drive recently to see if e-boarding passes have arrived.
She met with some success, but there were a few glitches it would be helpful to know before trying it out yourself.
First, not all security checkpoints are equipped with required readers, particularly those at smaller airports, so it is wise to check on your carrier’s website to see if your departure points are e-ready.
Make certain that the image is visible and scannable. One frequent flyer recommended taking a photo of the boarding pass to present at the gate, rather than downloading the pass itself.
Other suggestions include arrive with a fully charged phone (or have a charger with you) and increase the brightness on the screen to make it more easily read.
