easyJet have announced that they are trialling mobile
boarding passes at Amsterdam, Edinburgh, Manchester, Nice, Stansted
and Southend airports.
The passes will be downloaded and stored on the traveller's
mobile phone, and all the passes for a family travelling together may be on a
single phone or distributed.
I can quite see the attraction for the individual passenger,
or even a couple. But how do you cope
with entering the security area if you have more than two or three on a single
phone?
For those of us who arrange and accompany groups, I cannot see the mobile boarding pass as being in any way a benefit - let's hope the paper option remains.
I certainly cannot see every child in a school group having his / her own pass on individual mobile phones. Anybody who has been away with a group will know that the number of phones returning does not necessarily equal the number going out.
