Tried using this for upcoming trip. Tutorial fails to advise you to remove phone cover to scan for passport chip; only find that most useful info if you read reviews of app.

Also, no where at app or Alaska does it indicate you should complete process (create ID and then specific flight, which is a whole other process) BEFORE checking in on line. We still have no boarding pass even though Alaska app shows we have verified passports. So to the agent we will go...

Time saver? Convenient? Not so much
