I have seen the future—I actually used electronic check in.
On my way down to Orlando to do a presentation to WEVA, the Wedding and Event Videographers Association. I got to O’Hare three hours early, so I figured I would have plenty of time.
Downloaded the electronic check in graphic on my iPhone last night. When I got to the airport, almost used paper, but thought I would try electronic. It actually worked. Put my phone on the security scanner perfect. Got to the gate, scanned — very slick. No Paper.
Other folks watched in amazement. Only concern, when you don’t have paper, you have no record of your seat or gate. So, download your flight into your calendar and check the electronic board, which you need to do anyhow.
The “E” evolution marches on. Who knows what’s next?
A bit shaky, but check out this video to show how mobile boarding passes work:
