The trouble with Kiosk Print Boarding Pass…
- The airline or airport bears the cost of printing the paper pass at the kiosk. Many airports still print ATB boarding passes and they are expensive.
- Airlines may see this as yet another opportunity to achieve ancillary revenue by charging to print the boarding pass at the kiosk. For example, Ryanair charge UK 40 to print a boarding pass at the airport.
