»»Continental Airlines Expands Paperless Boarding Pass Program
Continental Airlines announced its paperless boarding card program, started in Houston last year, is now available for flights out of Newark Liberty International Airport, Boston Logan International Airport and Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport.
Through this paperless system Continental sends to passengers’ cell phones, PDAs and other hand-held devices SMS messages containing boarding information.
In the SMS messages will be displayed an encrypted bar code along with passenger and flight information. The bar code will then be scanned by TSA officials and airline ticket checkers.
To take advantage of this system, passengers must be flying to a domestic destination. (source)
