Mobile Boarding Pass Tips: Use Your Phone

Mobile Boarding Pass Tips

Paper boarding passes are increasingly optional. Here’s how to use mobile passes smoothly.

Before You Arrive

Add your boarding pass to Apple Wallet or Google Pay 24 hours before departure. Take a screenshot as backup.

Battery Concerns

Charge your phone fully. Most airports have charging stations, but lines can be long during busy periods.

Brightness Settings

Turn screen brightness to maximum before scanning. Low brightness causes scanner errors.

When to Print

International flights often require paper passes for customs and immigration. Check your destination’s requirements.

Mobile passes work at TSA, airline gates, and most airport lounges.
