New Boarding Pass option - PDF?

Just checked in online to find a new option along with the normal print/fax (unless I've just ignored it for ages, that is [:I])

PRINT YOUR BOARDING PASS
If you are printing a boarding pass for more than one passenger, these will be printed on separate sheets of A4/letter paper.


FAX YOUR BOARDING PASS
Please enter your fax number (minus leading 0) and your country code (e.g. 44 for the UK).

Country Code *
Fax Number *

SEND BOARDING PASS TO EMAIL
Please enter a valid email address you would like your PDF Boarding Passes to be sent to.

Email address *
Please confirm email address *

Each passenger's boarding pass for each individual flight will be on a separate PDF file.


Have to say - bloody handy, as it saves me having to print it to PDF each time myself! [y]



Shame the button doesn't work right now though... [:?][:#]

Oooh - yes it does [:)]

Doesn't seem to like their normal fonts that are used on the 'real' printed copy though (replaces them all with Times New Roman). [:?]

It probably helps them format the boarding pass a bit more. HTML print outs can really look screwed up, and I haven't always had the best experiences printing out all the information the airline says you must have.

See for kicks, I acquired a Brother MW-100 mobile printer which prints out in A7. I printed out a few of my e-tickets for a laugh on it, as they fit neatly in my passport cover. The looks I got when I handed it over to the Securicor agent or the check-in agent.

Makes sense to me!

At the other end of the scale there was the guy on Flyertalk who printed out his BP on the office plotter, IIRC it was something like 4ft x 3ft!

Thats the best idea ever... It'd be like one of the giant checks you get when you win a sweepstakes... Be sure to take a photo [y]

Good to see you have finally worked out how to include links properly now Richard, funky little printer!
