I am now utterly confused by how AS handles passports. I remember last time when we flew to Mexico I struggled with this Mobile Verify app. Previously, I just entered my passport information manually on the website as part of the checkin process and it then always proceeded to tell me that I can only get my boarding pass at the airport (where they scanned my passport into the system).

Today I checked in for a an international flight tomorrow. Did it on the computer, entered the passport information (copy/paste from my password manager). Except that I screwed up: Instead of my passport entry I accidentally had selected my passport CARD record in the password manager database, and while the expiration date is the same, the number certainly isn't. I only discovered it after submitting the data, and there doesn't seem to be a way to fix it.

But - oh wonder - AS this time decided that I am worthy of getting boarding passes to print at home.

Will be interesting to see if they will ask for my / our passports at the gate for a doc check.
