Good for you. The more pushback on this nonsense, the better.Also walked into a Starbucks last year to order a coffee they asked did I order online I said no. The guy replied we are an online store only. He said I needed download the app created a username and password then place the order and it would be ready in a few. I asked can’t I just order and pay you? He said nope , then I said nope on the order and walked out.
Flying to FL on Wed, I will have my printed boarding pass and car rental email printed and in my hand.
Good for you - that way you won't hold up the line with the PHOOOOOONNE! You'll hand your boarding pass to the gate agent and walk onto the plane without stopping.
It’ll take longer if you hand them the boarding pass.
Not in my experience. I don't even have to stop, the PHOOOOOONNE people all do because the thing has to be scanned. Then there are those who are not ready, don't have the right screen up, or the thing locked the user out, or the battery died, whatever. I wish I had a nickel for every time I've been annoyed or inconvenienced by someone else's oh-so-CONVENIENT smartphone.
When was the last time you flew? I flew yesterday.
If you hand them a paper ticket, they will scan it for you, the same way a phone is scanned, and hand it back to you.
Using my iPhone. The ticket is ready on my Lock Screen, it takes one tap on it and it’ll show the ticket for scanning without unlocking the phone. You scan it and keep moving.
If you scan your paper ticket yourself and keep walking then you will be as fast as the person scanning their phone.
