Ever since I first heard about a man using his BlackBerry to check into a flight - he was running late and didn't have his boarding pass - I've been wondering if this was just a one-off instance, or if it was going to become a growing trend. According to RCR News, Delta Air Lines is now allowing passengers at LaGuardia Airport in NY to use their cell phone as a boarding pass. Domestic customers can now download their boarding passes to their phones via Delta's website and go directly through security rather than visiting check in (if you don't have bags to check). OK, I seriously wish I had an excuse to fly out of NY using this new handy dandy service. Let's just hope other airlines follow suit!

doubt i'd find this necessary. i print my stuff out 24 hours in advance. no problem.
1I think this is a fantastic idea. Most people probably wouldn't need to use it, but I imagine it would be incredibly useful to people who travel often.

3Not a bad idea. Cuts down on paper.
I just check in online and print out my pass. In the one situation where I didn't have access to a printer to print one out, the baggage check-in people were able to print one for me. Kinda why it's good to arrive an hour or two before your flight...
