Boarding Pass
If you have checked in online, is it reasonable to ask the lounge staff to print a boarding pass?

I wonder if there are any FTers among us who have procured their own boarding pass printers.

I'd imagine it's impossible, you'd need DCS (eg FLY) Access and you aren't getting that at mere mortal level.

The actual printers are widely available though!

I take another phone with me and use it to take pictures of the boarding pass on the other phone- just so I have a record in case things go South at the gate.

Or just share the boarding pass with the other phone. I manage to add both mine and my wifes boarding passes on both phones

Does that mean you get a free printer when you get to Gold? Or does one have to wait until GGL or GFL?

Does anyone know if the boarding passes BA use have BPA in them, either on the First Wing stock or around the network?

Bisphenol A. It is a possible ingredient for thermal paper now banned for that purpose in the EU!

Well, next time they can't print your connecting boarding pass for your IB flight, you'll know why 😆 Nothing to do with the ancient IT 😆

I ask out of interest, not mortal fear! Although BPA is pretty unreservedly nasty even to touch. Not great for everyone at the desks!
