Keeping boarding passes
 

Anyone out there like to keep your boarding pass for souvenirs like me? If so, for those airlines which keep the big half what do you do? Do you ask for a second one in the lounge or at checkin?

It seems some non-US carriers prefer to tear the BP.

Just curious.

All electronic

I used to keep them but it just gets out of hand and I never did anything with them. I've since recycled all of them and only use electronic ones when available.

For the first couple years of my flying life I kept all my boarding passes. Actually put them on my wall, until I moved then I realized I had too many so I only kept the sentimental ones

For Keeping boarding passes I kept my self while I traveled to Thailand by Thai Airways. Because there is too many issues about immigration according to customs rules.

Years ago I kept them but only the stub. Those took up too much space at home as it was. Now I just keep them long enough to know I won't need them for after the fact evidence, for example to claim missing mileage.

I keep the electronic ones archived in my email, but other than that, I'll only keep interesting itineraries or strange airlines. And it's always just the stub that I keep as it has all the necessary information.

I only keep the ones from memorable flights, e.g. when I'm flying Business or First.

I only keep them until I have verified that my FF miles have been posted to my account, then they go in the rubbish bin.

I leave them in seat pocket so that my legacy continues on the aircraft's next leg

Hahaha.

I keep all my BP stubs, kind of as a memento of all the miles and cities I've visited.

Sentimental ones, mostly. Or new and different airlines.

For the rest, I keep them readily available until the miles have posted and I know I won't need them for anything. Then they go into a accordion file and thus sorted by year. In January, I purge the oldest year to free up a space for the new year.

I used to keep them, but then I had way too many and now they're all on my iPhone.

I shred 'em.

Why?

Because if someone finds it (via dumpster diving) they know 3 things about me:
1) I am an elite flyer (and probably doing OK $$)
2) My name
3) My FF#

That is 1 step away from full identity theft.

I don't have any trips worth keeping BP -- I don't really have any memorable trips so if I ever get that trip to Bora Bora I might keep that one.

Can you still find your iPhone under them all?
