The pearl clutching here is amazing. A comment going as far to say it’s *checks notes* discriminating against people without cellphones.

Considering the number of comments we get in all the other posts from the “Let’s go Brandon” folks, it’s good to see they are finally taking a stand against classism.

However, perhaps because they are new to the fight they still don’t know how to do it. I believe the program that issues free phone plans to low income people is national. (Thanks Brandon)

Teach Nana to use her phone or she can get in line. It’s pretty simple.

I fly dozens of times each year– mainly internationally, but sometimes, domestically– and I cannot remember the last time I used a paper boarding pass. I have a phone.

Alaska Airlines, a leader in environmental stewardship will soon implement paperless in flight restrooms. Passengers will be able to download the necessary ‘paperwork’ via an app on their smartphone or tablet, data rates may apply.

To those of you concerned that an airline is interested in making a profit and cutting costs, I’m curious what your idea of the purpose of business is? We can’t hate an airline for wanting to decrease costs and should praise Alaska for finding a way to provide benefits for their guests in the same effort. Personally, I would rather have access to my boarding pass on my phone, a device that I use for just about everything else in life. I don’t know about you, but I don’t buy tickets with an airline to enjoy their lobby space. Any chance I have to avoid congested lobbies and long lines is a win for me.

Kudos to AS! Those with paper boarding passes should board last.
Besides the Alaska app, I save a boarding pass on Google Wallet and also save a screenshot.

It’s 2023 — who prints a boarding pass or checks a bag?? This is travel 101 people. Carry on always and use a mobile boarding pass.
