AIR FRANCE and KLM have recently announced an expansion of their electronic boarding pass service, allowing passengers to get boarding passes on their mobile devices.
From the official release:
Following a six-month test on the Paris-Amsterdam-Paris route and after a first launch on some French destinations last month (‘La Navette’ flights), the service is now ready for gradual roll-out throughout Europe. It can be used on flights from Paris and Amsterdam to most European destinations other than the UK.
Passengers can check-in using their PDA or smartphone, and receive their boarding pass by email or as an MMS or SMS. As a result, the need for printing the boarding pass has been eliminated!
In a nutshell, this is both efficient and eco-friendly solution. Can’t wait to see this implemented by all the airlines and on all airports around the world. There’s something to look forward to.

In addition to his interests in mobile phones, Dusan also loves to experiment with the latest web and mobile 2.0 services. The idea of accessing and managing your information from any device no matter where you are simply amazes him. Whether it's an online to-do list, note taking service or a video sharing social network, he's there to try it out. He admits though, he's still searching for the ultimate web-based organizational tool, which "sings" perfectly with the mobile PIM application.
