New idea by BA?
On a recent flight back from Stockholm Arlanda, I noticed a slightly different boarding procedure.
At the gate, check-in staff collected boarding passes or read the 2D bar-codes on print-at-home ones. A printer nearby printed off a bus-ticket-sized piece of paper with key details - flight number, name, seat, and presumably date.
Interesting.
Is this done to make the life of the cabin crew easier - after all, they have to scan anything from stubs of conventional boarding passes to print-at-home boarding passes to SMS messages on mobile phones. Presumably it's easier if all passengers have the same size piece of paper!
Does anyone know? Is this really the reason, or have I missed something?
