What is the advantage to mobile?I can’t believe there’s a vote for paper
Mobile all day
Gotta use mobile.
Ease of use and better chance of not dropping it along the way.

What’s the convince of paper? It’s just another thing to keep track of. Who doesn’t know where their phone is at all times. It’s way more convenient

Fumbling through apps vs holding a piece of paper. I'll take the paper.
Stick it in my wallet beforehand, I always know where my wallet is.
If you are in line and fumbling through apps when you get to board then that sounds like slow play.Fumbling through apps vs holding a piece of paper. I'll take the paper.

Mobile for me. Admittedly have only flown southwest in recent years so I just pop open the app and leave it where I need it. Two touches and I'm good

you can also just take a picture and pull that up if the app isn’t agreeable
Honestly for me mobile is so easy with Southwest. Flying for work and not checking bags I am in the door and through TSA in under 3 minutes most days. We are getting a new terminal in March so that may increase up to 5 minutes.

It took like 20+ clicks to checkin on the app today so annoying. After having to look all over for my username and guessing my password on the 3rd try.
Sorry old fashion here, I'm paper everything.
Dude. Mobile. Full Stop.

I always use paper. Just a creature of habit. I get my boarding passes, fold them in half, and stick them in my left back pocket. I’ve been doing it for as long as I can remember. I have the mobile boarding pass but just prefer to use paper tickets.

But are they separate? Just seems inconvenient to me. But based on the votes and some posts, you’re not alone in your thoughts!You get them all at your first departure.

I flew with mobile today and felt a little dirty.
