9W allows mobile boarding pass?
 

Travelling 9W after good 20 days.. last time they still had paper but I just checked in for my BLR-BOM tomorrow from my PC and was emailed a mobile BP as well as regular PDF BP... anyone used this already?

will report what happens tomorrow..

you can only use your mobile bp to swap for a physical bp at the airport. nothing else changed yet

Yes, I would be very surprised if this happens in India. The CRPF/CISF like to stamp everything. Not sure how that would work on the phone :)

so true....& don't expect it to change for a long long time....its quite a useless benefit....

I tried using the mobile boarding card to enter Bangalore airport but wasn't allowed. Had to then show the ticket in pdf format to enter.

Not even useless, but may also be confusing, especially for foreigners.

9W allows mobile boarding pass?
 

So the mobile boarding pass doesn't work obviously but if booking 9w from mobile device, it can add trip details to passbook.. And airport security accepted the passbook version at BOM, BLR and DEL in the last week.. No more PDF searching in email!

Well the Mobile BP works like a charm in IDR and HYD. And I do not remember If i ever had any problems in Mumbai, although most of the times I have a boarding pass already (Mumbai is mostly a transit for me).

I've been using the PDF web boarding pass to enter pretty much every major airport in the past 2-3 months..

When I last spoke to some 9W rep she said they're working on installing self check-in machines that scan your mobile BP and print out a paper one for you.

PDF has always been working for last year or so since CISF allowed it - what i was talking about is the little jpg image you get as mobile BP when checking-in.. Never had that accepted by CISF at either BLR/BOM/DEL but the iPhone passbook version is acceptable to them.. unfortunately, the passbook entry is only received when booking from mobile phone..

The mobile BP works as well at some airports, I am sure we will have consistency on this soon.

There's a lot of inconsistency across airports. I've used the pdf received over email (on my mobile phone) as well as the electronic boarding pass with the QR code, to enter the airport, in DEL, BOM and BLR. The issue has generally been around the photo-ID - while most airports are flexible, I've generally seen issues being raised by some (not all) security personnel in BLR.

In any case, you will need a hard copy boarding pass in order to get through security checks, and that doesn't look like being changed any time soon!

Yup I know what you mean.. Along with the jpg image, Jet also emails you a PDF boarding pass (Not the ticket copy) that works well enough..

which airports????

Mentioned earlier.. Works like a charm at Indore and Hyderabad.
