 "Vistara launches mobile boarding pass at Mumbai airport")
Vistara today announced the launch of mobile phone boarding pass facility for its customers travelling out of Mumbai’s T2 terminal to New Delhi, Bangalore, Ahmedabad and Goa.
The first of its kind initiative will help Vistara customers enjoy a truly seamless travel experience, the airline said.
Earlier this year, Jet Airways ran a pilot project issuing mobile boarding passes to its passengers at Bengaluru airport.
The mobile boarding pass facility is a time-saver for passengers and results in reduction in usage of paper boarding passes, the airline said.
Vistara’s customers making use of this facility for their travel from Mumbai T2 will only need to choose 'Get Mobile boarding pass/ Collect by SMS' option when checking-in online or on airline's mobile app.
The SMS from Vistara will contain booking details and a link to access the mobile boarding pass. Customers are encouraged to take a screenshot of the mobile boarding pass, which is readable by the machines installed in Mumbai T2’s domestic departure level.
Paper boarding passes are not required but customers would need to carry authorised photo ID as proof of identity.
