Can boarding passes for past flights still be printed?
I misplaced a few boarding passes from my recent trip.
Questions: Can boarding passes of past (already taken) flight segments still be printed? If yes, how far back can check-in/gate agents go?
Since I'm fairly confident I'll end up in the top 30 for this year's EYW, I wanted to keep my collection of bp's to remind myself and to justify to my gf, the stupidity (err...craziness?), I went through to provide the "future" trip of a lifetime for her
TIA.

When I check in online, I always print to pdf on my computer as well as print to printer (if I have a printer) or print at airport (if I don't). Then when I submit expenses, I just upload the pdf from the computer. They don't care about the highlighter over the gate or the circle around the departure time or the sticker with the checked bag claim on it.

This isn't accurate. I have landed in a city, gone to the MLL, and had them print a boarding pass for the flight I just arrived on. So, a post flight BP can be printed. I do not know how long afterwards.

I asked if it was possible and her response was...."it depends on how far back."
.....so there you go Cow, if an agent writes on your bp in the future, just ask a lounge agent for another copy.^

I just tested it. A new printer number and a "*" is added.

To be fair, this misunderstanding might be my fault. In another thread I made mention that there is an asterisk printed after the terminal ID if the BP is a reprint (without PNR change). I think I pointed this out to Cow on one of the EYWs but he didn't care about it. Noticing something doesn't mean caring about it. =)

Awesome. As soon as I read your post, I went to the lounge agent and she printed my missing pass from yesterday.
I asked if it was possible and her response was...."it depends on how far back."
