Thanks a lot deniah, I will look out for this on upcoming trips

I just recently discovered the point deniah has made when booking a Eurostar (train from London to Paris via tunnel). Didn't realise other companies did that even if they don't have a native app so I'll keep an eye out in the future!

2 for 2 today out of STL. I was worried about the gate BP scanner, similar in setup to the LGA skyclub, but it worked fine.

Delta, US Airways has it, too. I used with my iPhone for almost 2 years and it's great. I can scan my eboarding pass.

Good idea!

Quick question about the Delta app and the Apple Watch. Has anyone else noticed that you have to open the app on the iPhone for it to actually load on the Watch? If I don't do that, the Watch app will sit on the loading screen forever. It probably won't be an issue with boarding passes since they'll be in Passbook but the Watch app does seem to be less useful as a result of that issue.

You actually got the delta app on the watch to work? I posted in the delta forum, no dice for me.

Yep. Doesn't seem to do much right now since I can't check in yet:

When I had problems with the United app, I found that uninstalling it all and reinstalling it fixed my problem, in case you haven't tried that.

I've used it on DL and UA, works fine. neither shows much info and really is only useful for the day of travel. Assuming you've added the BP to your passbook officially, it's nice to have it just one swipe down from boarding.

It seems that whenever I book Cathay on Aa, I don't get to use the mobile boarding pass. I don't understand why but it says mobile boarding pass it not available on the crap Cx app.

You can add Germanwings to the list of airlines using it - did so over the weekend. I do find, however, that I only have a 50% success rate with UA.

QF and VA also have Passbook BPs, at least for domestic flights. I have also had CX Passbook BPs on flights to HKG (but not on flights to SYD).

Now i tested the Combination Passbook the last 6 month with my Iwatch on LH and Delta, and it works nearly perfect, itīs a nice Toy that makes some sence.

And it allways looks cool when ya just swipe your watch on the scanner.

I use passbook almost exclusively. I hate when I'm forced to take paper BPs. Airlines I've used it on...

AC, AA, UA, NH, WS, AV. I tried using mobile for CM, but as I recall it wasn't passbook and you had to use their app or something, I forget, but either way I don't think it worked out for me.

That is for the flights where it works, damn AC often times won't let me check in if it's not domestic for some reason. Sometimes it works sometimes not.

As far as the watch goes. I've had my BPs pop up...they don't anymore though for some reason, the AC app is super buggy on the watch in my experience other than the boarding notifications. The problem is the scanning, because the watch face is so small the agent needs to see not only the BP but you have to scroll to show your name so they can verify vs your ID. The other issue is the barcode, it's great for a top down scanner, but just think of how many gates you've been to where they only have face down scanning, where the agent either places your phone or BP face down on the glass. Try contorting your arm like that, plus the watch face will usually turn off. In practice I've had very little success with the watch. I'm not UPSET that I bought it, but it certainly hasn't really done anything for my life. Just tells me to stand up a lot , it does bring calorie burning and stuff to mind though even if it's not that accurate it makes you think about it which is good.
