Cardstock BP's at ATL
 
I like to collect my bp's in a folder as souvenirs, and therefore have a preference for cardstock vs. the thermal slips from the kiosk and certain counters. I know from experience that the Sky Priority desk in South has them, but am particularly interested if there are any places airside that print them at ATL?

Appreciate any input.

Airside terminal F/E gates. This is due to international airlines using those gates also.

I prefer the card stock BPs too :)

I prefer electronic ones - reduces the amount of paper clutter I consider keeping and saves a tree :cool:

Not only do I like to keep them, they are nicer to handle as they don't rip as easy.

While those can be convenient sometimes, I've lost count how many people in front of me have attempted to scan it only for their screen to darken,

Paper ones are much better when you have to submit a claim for missing miles.

I only seek them out for the flights on which I am going to pass a MM milestone. I have them for 1MM, 2MM and 3MM.

Covid is making 4MM look very unlikely. But the virus has given us far more significant matters to be concerned about.

Even though I use the mobile BP most of the time, I always get a paper boarding pass just in case something happens like my phone dies or the app crashes or the systems at the airport go down etc. Plus it's a neat souvenir at the end. :)

The biggest problem with the thermal boarding passes is that over time, the printing becomes lighter and the paper becomes darker. After 7 or 8 years, they are illegible.

I prefer cardstock boarding passes for this reason.

Another problem especially in COVID times is that hand sanitizer makes the ink run, so make sure your hands are dry (luckily the part I grabbed wasn't the barcode)
