I’ve seen this happen which QR’s handling agents at OSL, ARN, AMS and MEL. Interestingly at MEL, the lady doing the boarding called her supervisor if it would be ok to scan the mobile boarding pass to which he said “you can try” and of course (not to my surprise), it was absolutely fine. In the other 3 stations they vehemently did not want anything to do with the mobile boarding pass. Even in DOH they used to come out in a rash if one displayed a mobile boarding pass, however on my latest experiences earlier this year, I believe DOH staff have been given the appropriate antihistamines and it appears they seem to be ok with it with no one challenging me and my partner for using mobile boarding passes. Clearly this memo doesn’t seem to have trickled through to outstation handling agents including at CDG most likely. This is definitely not a CDG thing, it’s very much a QR thing (which will hopefully change with time)!
