    Dear airline, let me use my phone as boarding pass & I’ll use your online checkin. Ask me to print out tickets & I’m all ‘what’s a printer?’

        @aral even when they let you use your phone as a boarding pass, they will still print one out for you at the gate

        @aral Working on airport baggage handling and passenger and FIMS systems right now. You're making a valid point.

        @aral might be a slight exaggeration, as home printers are still very much a must have item… although granted, much less convenient.

        @aral Dear airline, hotel rooms don't have printers. I CAN'T print a boarding pass 24 hours before my flight on the way back!

        @bazscott Caught out too and not allowing printing 4 hours before gate opening time is ridiculous too. I'm looking at you .@RyanairOfficial

        @aral Never understood the use of those airline apps without support for accessing your boarding pass :")

        @aral Ditto that for event tickets, although who I need a ticket at all confuses me.

        @aral I did paperless to and from LA a while back. Airlines that don’t allow it are stupid. http://23x.net/516/paperless-life-have-ipad-will-travel.html …
