Works well on the iPad! In LAX on Saturday, I saw at least ten people use mobile bp. I'd say that it is catching on..

Out of curiosity, what happens when you use a mobile BP, but then run into an issue of your miles not being credited and the airline (esp an alliance partner that you weren't flying, but were crediting miles to) is asking for a copy of the BP? Since the BP is hosted on the airline's website, I assume it expires after you take your flight.
I thought about it when trying to claim miles on QF after I flew on AA. QF was requesting a copy of my BP. I used a regular BP, not a mobile phone one, but the thought did occur to me.

Just avoid LGA if flying AA. That's the only domestic AA station I know of where TSA still demands that you keep your boarding pass in your hand while walking through the metal detector.
But I'll cut them some slack, because LGA is also the only station I know of where you still can just flash your Admirals Club card and ID for access to the club in Concourse D when not traveling, without having to bother getting a gate pass or doing the fully-refundable-ticket thing.

That's why this stands out in my mind. I'm based out of NYC so I frequent those three airports.
Earlier I checked in online for my Lufthansa flight tomorrow. Then I read this thread and went back to try and get a mobile boarding pass but I guess I can't because I already printed one?
