Totally +1
FWIW people still don't seem to get their phones to work I see someone getting stuck at the front of the line almost every flight because the screen is too dark, or they don't have it loaded, or whatever problem has happened with their new tech phone. Also typically at check in (I usually have luggage) they jam a paper ticket at me so great I use it.
