When you check in online, choose 'Send my passes to my smartphone' and use your phone to get through security and board your flight. It's that easy.
Here's how:
You'll see the option when you check in online if:
Here's how:
- Check in on usairways.com
- When we ask 'How do you want your passes?' check 'Send my passes to my smartphone'
- If you have an iPhone or iPod Touch, install Passbook and tap 'Add to Passbook' from your mobile boarding pass
- At the airport, use your mobile boarding pass at the kiosk (to check a bag), at the TSA checkpoint (to get through security) and at the gate when you board
You'll see the option when you check in online if:
- Your flights are operated by US Airways
- You're traveling through a city that has mobile boarding

Noticed it on my mobile BP today too. Works great and much more convenient than having to keep the BP open in safari.

Just when I was beginning to give up hope for a Mobile App... this seems like a nice intermediate step!

New feature indeed. Somehow US is on the cutting edge.

Made sure all of my mobile settings were showing up on the notifications page. Made sure that my day of phone and e-mail were filled in. The only option I had was to print my boarding pass so it looks like I get to pick it up tomorrow when I get to the airport. I suspect it may be due to the airport that I'm flying out of may not support the mobile passes? Not sure on that though.

That makes sense. I'll be hitting PHX, ORD, and PHL tomorrow but since I'll be starting out in PDX it looks like its a no go. Maybe the next trip.

US Airways Mobile Boarding Pass - Now with "Add to Passbook"
I haven't seen discussion of this elsewhere, but please forgive me if there is already a thread for this topic.
For the first time today, I noticed an "Add to Passbook" link embedded in my mobile boarding pass when viewed from my iPhone - the integration is seamless and straight-forward. Granted, I don't think that there is any additional functionality associated with the availability of the boarding pass within Passbook, however, I think it's an encouraging sign for those of us who have lamented the lack of any sort of US Airways for mobile platforms.

Was nicely impressed by this on my last couple trips.
Only thing I noticed was the pass didn't show on my home screen as the UA passbook boarding passes do. (For UA, the boarding pass was able to displayed without unlocking the phone, and in one swipe, directly from the lock screen)
It would be a nice trick if US Airways could modify the settings on their electronic boarding passes to either geofence or time-bound the boarding pass to behave this way.

Not necessary, Passbook supports date/time and Location based display. Passbook is just specially formatted javascript, they just need to add in additional parameter or two. I haven't been able to use mobile boarding pass since they added passbook, but I'd be surprised if they didn't have at least time of day notification in the lock screen.
