Can you bring boarding pass on phone?

Yes, bringing your boarding pass on your phone is the standard and preferred method for almost all airlines in 2026. After checking in via the airline's mobile app or website, you can download a mobile boarding pass directly to your phone's digital wallet (such as Apple Wallet or Google Wallet) or access it through a QR code in the app. This digital pass contains all your flight details and is scanned at security checkpoints and the boarding gate just like a paper pass. Using a mobile pass is not only more eco-friendly but also saves time by allowing you to skip the check-in counters if you have no bags to drop. To ensure a smooth experience, travelers are advised to take a screenshot of the pass in case of poor internet connectivity at the airport and to ensure their device is sufficiently charged or to carry a portable power bank for the duration of their travel day.
