I didn't bother to do Airside verification for my trip today and I was still able to get boarding pass after just entering in my passport (wish it was saved) online so I'm confused what Airside is even for.
Ditto. AS app never updated to say passport validation completed even after I entered flight info. Thankfully (like you) we were able to generate BPs so we could skip airport lines and go straight to security. However we were stopped at the gate (BP would not scan) and told to step aside so the other GA could validate passports (which took a ridiculous # of keystrokes). Idiotic!
