If you needed one more reason to make the switch to carrying an Internet enabled device this might be the reason to push you over the edge. American Airlines is testing a paperless system for mobile boarding passes. Passengers will be able to get boarding passes electronically on their Internet enabled mobile phones or PDAs via e-mail. The barcode can be scanned at TSA security checkpoints and American Airlines gates. The mobile boarding passes will initially be available for passengers on U.S. domestic flights from Chicago’s O’Hare International, Los Angeles International and John Wayne Orange County airports. If the trials are successful the mobile boarding passes may be extended to other U.S. airports.
