At airports, I’ve always waited in line to get a printed boarding pass. Time for a change I guess.
Apparently I can check online and print my boarding pass as a pdf at home or even download the airline’s app and get a qr code to print the boarding pass at a kiosk inside the airport. Do I need an active internet connection at the airport to use the kiosk? I wont have internet there.
My airline explains they can send a pdf copy of the boarding pass to my email address. Is it really not a problem to print my boarding pass on regular office paper and not on cardboard airlines use?
If I download the airline’s app to get the qr code to print the boarding card at the kiosk, will the airline spam me with ads I don’t want?
Can I both print the boarding pass at home AND get the qr code to print the boarding pass at the kiosk?
Apparently there is something called ‘receive boarding pass by sms’. How does this work?
I’ve been traveling full time for 5 years. I always when possible check-in online. I always screenshot my boarding pass so it’s in my gallery and available without internet. (same goes for any any other documents that may be required) No need for Google wallet, seems like an unnecessary step to me.
Never had any problems with early checkin and boarding pass on the phone, it’s very convenient. You can just save your QR code as a picture on your phone, you don’t need internet.

This. OP says they won’t have internet and they don’t seem to fly often. Since most Airline apps are shitty, don’t rely on their app. It could disappear; crash; forget who you are; know who you are, but forget about your flight. This never happens to frequent flyers with the regular airline, but it could totally happen to OP. (And no, it’s not the super-low-cost budget airlines that have shitty apps)
