Delta launches paperless boarding pass

Your paper boarding pass may soon be a thing of the past if you’re flying Delta Airlines. Delta’s trying out an electric boarding pass option in La Guardia Airport in New York today. Plans to do the same in Atlanta are scheduled for later this year.

Passengers will be able to use cell phones to download bar codes to be scanned at the security checkpoint and boarding gate.

The main reason Delta’s going paperless is to attract hurried business travelers who can save time using the electronic system.
