Kiosk Print Boarding Pass

Boarding passes can be obtained at self-service kiosks no matter how passengers have checked-in.

What does a Kiosk Print Boarding Pass look like?

A boarding pass printed at a kiosk is almost the same as the traditional ATB pass issued for many years. In almost all cases there will be a 2D bar code.

How does Kiosk Print Boarding Pass work?

There are a number of ways that passengers can get boarding passes at kiosks:

• check-in at the kiosk and then print the boarding pass
• check-in online and just use the kiosk to print the boarding pass
• use mobile check-in and print a boarding pass at the kiosk
• print a paper pass as a backup to a mobile pass

Why use Kiosk Print Boarding Pass?

Passengers	no worry that airport security will reject the boarding pass save money as the airline pays for the boarding pass print no need to remember where the self printed or mobile pass is
Airlines	cut costs by issuing plain paper passes at the kiosk better customer service as passengers with self printed or mobile passes will not be rejected by security
Airports	more reliable than home printed or mobile boarding passes less problems at security

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.
