The last time I flew anywhere was over 30 years ago, so I am not up on how things work here days. I hope someone can explain this to me:

Fleurizard photographed different boarding passes multiple times with multiple people, finally using one of the images to scan the QR code from his phone to get access to the plane...

What does scanning a QR code have to do with getting on an airplane? The last time I flew, QR codes didn't exist, and neither did smart phones. You had to physically show your boarding pass to airline staff to board the plane.

I know I probably sound like a 🦕 , so please be kind!

It's called a "mobile boarding pass." It is stored in an e-wallet app on your smartphone. Eugene Mar 2024 #4
