Never had any problems with early checkin and boarding pass on the phone, it's very convenient. You can just save your QR code as a picture on your phone, you don't need internet.
This. OP says they won't have internet and they don't seem to fly often. Since most Airline apps are shitty, don't rely on their app. It could disappear; crash; forget who you are; know who you are, but forget about your flight. This never happens to frequent flyers with the regular airline, but it could totally happen to OP. (And no, it's not the super-low-cost budget airlines that have shitty apps)
Airlines these days are really easy to recover from digital failures. Just walk up to the desk and they will print out whatever you need.
Exactly, donβt worry if your phone stops working or if you lose the physical Boarding pass. Just ask nicely and they will print it out for you in case something does not work out.
I always take screenshots of the app screens and have them ready to go. Nothing worse than the app deciding it needs to refresh and then hanging just as you reach a scanner.
I print paper copies just in case but rarely need them. Last time I tried to use one the scanner couldn't read it because it was designed to scan phones and passes, not the giant version they send you to print.
Well, as someone who has lost boarding passes with no backup before: itβs really not a big deal. Just ask the boarding crew and they will print your pass again.
Yes, I'm probably dropping this. Old habits die hard
Google Wallet now let's you import bordning passes into it. Once loaded in your phone you don't need Internet to pull them up, and can easily pull them up on a linked smart watch.
