App Update - Mobile Boarding Pass Now Systemwide (was: in 28 Cities)
Looks like another app update.
Home screen has changed. Looks nicer.
Didn't get the "do you want to remain logged in" message. Haven't used it long, but fingers crossed.
Mobile boarding pass now supported in these airports:
ABQ, ATL, AUS, BWI, BNA, BUR, DAL, DEN, FLL, HOU, LAS, LAX, MCI, MCO, MDW, MKE, MSY, OAK, PHL, PHX, RSW, SAN, SFO, SJC, SMF, SNA, STL, TPA
"Cards" have been added to the home screen, so I'm guessing Passbook is not yet supported.

Wow! Great news! Just about time! I don't have to print the boarding pass at home anymore. From now on, I can have eboarding pass from my iPhone.

Anyone else have this glitch?
Using the Android version of the App, when selecting "upcoming trip" from the home page the departure times are displaying hours for minutes so that the 10:55 flight is showing as 10:10 and the 11:20 is showing as 11:11. When going through "Manage Travel" the times show correctly.

A1
Flight #506
MCI-LAS
-800 full boat
Samsung Galaxy S4 on Sprint
Electronic BP & ID check @ counter (checked a bag)
Pre-Check line dragon quick-glimpse
Security scan/3 quick beeps
Gate agent scan, asks that you verbally tell the F/A you're A1
F/A knew the drill
Drink "coupon" on the electronic BP
Different F/A knew the drill & thought that was "cool"
Zero issues...QR scan is smokin' fast.
YOU hold your handset (don't hand it to them). Hold it steady about two inches from the reader (QR readers don't work like grocery store UPC "scanners").
OT indulgence....
One pre-boarder, he had no helpers & no hangers-on.
Pushed on-time.
On final as I post...we're early.
WiFi fast and quite solid today.
Rough ride today...summer is on the way!
Considering they do 3,400 +/- flights a day, every day...they do a pretty good job. And they're nice.

I've been using the mobile BPs out of PHX for the last month or so. The way WN had them set up was a bit of a pain, so hopefully passbook integration (hint hint WN) or this new "cards" thing will make things a little more user friendly. Their iPhone app isn't nearly as nice as the AS or DL ones.

When it all works out for your particular flight, its great! I think many of here lament that the batting average has drastically plummeted in recent years...
