After a period of tests and trials, Air France and KLM have introduced the electronic boarding pass service, allowing you to receive the needed pass on your PDA or phone. You’ll check in by using your mobile device and receive the pass via email, MMS or SMS, without having to print the document.
The electronic boarding pass holds all the info shown on an usual pass, including the unique bar code, that will get scanned at the gate and shown at the baggage drop off point, duty free shops at Amsterdam Airport Schiphol and security. Bureaucracy and paper usage have been diminished with the aid of these new service and we hope it’ll expand past France and Netherlands.
