Have you ever printed a boarding pass?

Not a single person making a fuss about a "non-standard" boarding pass is something I wouldn't have guessed at all. Happiness all around :)

It looks like we've broken his web server. Here's a cached version: <a href="https://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:a4-v04rpBwcJ:bbryson.com/bill/2007/10/12/have-you-ever-printed-a-boarding-pass/+&#38;cd=1&#38;hl=en&#38;ct=clnk&#38;gl=us&#38;source=encrypted.google.com" rel="nofollow">https://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:a4-v04...</a>

tldr: Man prints out his boarding pass in large format. Delight ensues.

It would also be cool if you printed your boarding pass to PDF, but instead of printing a giant-sized version, loading it onto an Amazon Kindle and presenting that at the gate. Test Amazon's claim of being just like paper to the limit. Can't see why it wouldn't work.

the sad thing is that my first thought was "as a brown guy, there's no way i'd ever dare to do that".

The article is down, but on-topic, I know bunch of large airlines(EasyJet for example) that let you present boarding pass on your smartphone so you do not have to print it.

Glad he had fun because that's kind of an expensive boarding pass. When I've printed posters at Kinko's before, it usually comes out to about $40 for a 1 meter^2 poster.

Reminds me when I printed a boarding pass in "2-up" mode. Of course the 2D barcode on the pass was half-sized and none of their machines could read it.

This makes me happy. =)

good one. I love it when take something and muck around with our expectations of it. Isn't that one thing art is supposed to do?
