Can you get a boarding pass twice?

Yes, separate boarding passes are issued for two different flights, however, if you want the same seat then either you can go for web check-in or you can ask the airline official at the counter to give you the same seat for both the flights.



Yes, you can absolutely obtain a boarding pass multiple times for the same flight, as a boarding pass is simply a digital or physical "token" of your checked-in status rather than a one-of-a-kind physical ticket. In 2026, most travelers utilize a digital boarding pass stored in their Apple or Google Wallet, which can be viewed or refreshed as many times as needed. If you lose your phone or it runs out of battery, you can go to a self-service kiosk or the airline check-in counter and request a printed paper boarding pass; this will not invalidate your digital one, as both will feature the same unique barcode linked to your passenger record. However, it is important to understand that while you can have multiple copies of the pass, each one can only be scanned once for boarding. If you accidentally print two copies and give one to a friend, the first person to scan the code at the gate will be accepted, and the second will be flagged as a "duplicate" or "already boarded" by the gate agent's system. Some travelers even prefer to have both a digital copy for convenience and a paper backup in case of technology failures, which is a perfectly acceptable and common practice in modern air travel.

One disadvantage is certainly that many people have poor time management and arrive too late at the airport if they check in online. For some, this can lead to unwanted time pressure. On the other hand, those who still have to check in at the airport itself usually arrive early enough and are therefore over-punctual.
