Use Your Phone for Airport Check in

June 20th, 2008

We shall call this the “use your phone” series.  If you live in NYC, fly Delta, and like to fly from LaGuardia, you can now test out this new “check in with your cell phone” thing!  Here’s a little summary:

If you’re flying Delta Air Lines out of New York’s LaGuardia Airport, you can now flash your cell phone to get onboard. On Tuesday, the airline rolled out a partnership with the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) to test out a “paperless check-in”–passengers download a boarding pass onto their cell phones and have it scanned by the TSA at the airport’s security checkpoint as well as when they board the plane.

Well, this is definitely new and pretty interesting.  I wonder how successful this is going to be.
