    What happens if somehow your phone gets broken? I always get a paper pass printed out just in case.

      What happens if you lose the piece of paper?

      You can get a new boarding pass at the gate or before check-in so it’s not like you’ll be stranded at the airport.

        I’m just saying it’s always good to have a backup, and it doesn’t cost you a thing. You never know what’s gonna happen, so redundancy is a good thing.

      In 30 years of owning various cell phones and smart phones, I’ve never once broken a single one of them.

      It’s not something I worry about.

      Even still, I also have my iPad that I carry when I travel. I could always use that as well. Or my Apple Watch, which is what I most commonly use.

        I’m happy for you, but all it takes is one time. No reason not to have an extra backup.

          I just described how I have two extra back ups, and yet, it has never happened to me any more than a decade I’ve been using these passes.

          Worst case scenario? The gate agent prints me another one after they look me up in their computer. I know this, because I’ve seen people lose their paper boarding passes, and they had no back up at all. It took them five minutes to get another one.

          I choose not to live in fear of a problem that doesn’t exist.

            You can see it as living in fear, if that’s what helps you, I just see it as being as prepared as I can.

              As I’ve repeatedly mentioned, I am prepared, with redundancies. And since I’ve never needed them, suddenly living in fear that I should just because you say so would be irrational.

              What you’re describing is paranoia. Again, something I avoid.
