Printing remains very much in play when you are traveling internationally and need to have documentation of your travel for border/immigration authorities.
I just went to print out an upcoming itinerary. The passenger information box now covers up the flight information on the entire first page. I have a simple round trip, with 1 connection in each direction, and a total of two passengers on the itinerary... it prints 7 pages. The last three are *entirely* blank. But why on earth it takes 4 pages to print a simple round trip is beyond me.
