Jetstar Trialling SMS Boarding Passes

jetstar-smsThis is great news for frequent travellers – Jetstar is trialling a system that lets you use an SMS message as your boarding pass, forgoing the need to actually print anything off.

The system was designed by a Melbourne IT developer and will be trialled at Melbourne’s Avalon airport before being rolled out across the country over the next couple of years, according to Geoff Easdown at the Herald Sun.

The obvious beauty of the system is that because it’s based on SMS, it’s completely device agnostic so anyone can use it. Just make sure your phone’s battery is charged before you leave home…
