Simplify Air Travel: Use Mobile Boarding Passes for Seamless Multi-City Journeys
For travellers embarking on multi-city journeys, electronic boarding passes offer numerous benefits that streamline the travel experience, making it smoother, faster, and more convenient.
According to recent studies, over 60% of passengers have reported reduced queue times and more efficient boarding processes with electronic passes, particularly useful during complex multi-city itineraries [1]. This is because electronic boarding passes allow travellers to check in online or via a mobile app, select seats, and download passes in advance, enabling them to bypass long lines at airport counters and head directly to security or bag drop counters.
The time savings and convenience offered by electronic boarding passes are significant. Travellers can check in online or via a mobile app, download passes in advance, and bypass long lines at airport counters, heading straight to security or bag drop counters [3]. This not only reduces stress but also better manages travel, allowing easy access and less worry about losing paper tickets.
Furthermore, electronic boarding passes can reduce security processing times by up to 30%, streamlining transitions in multiple cities [4]. This speed and efficiency are crucial for travellers who are often on tight schedules during multi-city trips.
To optimise the implementation of electronic boarding passes, airlines can integrate check-in and boarding systems seamlessly. Using systems like ERPNext, airlines can ensure real-time updates on check-in status and boarding, reduce errors like duplicate boarding passes, and maintain traceability across all booking lifecycle stages [2].
Airlines can also enable self-service mobile apps, allowing customers to check in themselves and receive boarding passes digitally (as images or PDFs), enhancing user experience and reducing reliance on physical kiosks or counters [2].
Integrating electronic boarding passes with baggage tracking and tag printing is also crucial for multi-city trips where bags may be checked through or require re-checking depending on stopover duration [2][5]. Providing clear guidelines for multi-city travel, such as baggage handling, stopover policies, and digital pass usage, can help avoid confusion during transfers, especially if layovers extend beyond standard timeframes requiring baggage re-claim or separate boarding passes [5].
In summary, electronic boarding passes improve efficiency, convenience, and security processing for multi-city travellers. Airlines can enhance implementation by leveraging integrated digital systems, supporting self-service mobile check-in, connecting boarding passes with baggage logistics, and offering clear traveler guidance throughout the multi-city journey.

Technology has revolutionized the travel industry, making multi-city journeys more manageable with the introduction of electronic boarding passes. These passes not only offer a lifestyle advantage by reducing stress and long lines, but also leverage technology to streamline the boarding process, enhancing travel efficiency [1, 2, 3, 4]. Furthermore, integrating electronic boarding passes with other travel-related technology, such as baggage tracking and self-service mobile apps, can create a seamless, hassle-free travel experience, allowing travelers to focus on enjoying their trips rather than waiting in lines [2, 5].
