BabyGotMac: Delta introduces iPhone boarding passes

  • Walt French · 8 months ago
    When I travel from the Minneapolis airport (which has maybe a majority of its flights by just-acquired-by-Delta Northwest Air), I see perhaps one person in thirty use the E-boarding pass. All of 'em iPhones.

    Works pretty well for the security folks. Even last time when I'd inadvertently scrolled the code grid to the top of my screen, it only took a sec to fix and the big letters on the interpreting machine seem a LOT easier to decode than the 10-point, randomly-formatted info on paper boarding passes. (Plus the machine seems to verify that the pass is relevant to entering at the particular date/time, so it could be that all that's necessary is to verify that it matches my ID.)

    Does this also work with an iPod Touch?
    Thanks!

    Awesome. Hopefully they won't stamp the little TSA logo on the face of my iPhone, like they do on the paper boarding pass.
