A boarding pass design<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

I really like this. Also because it gets to show that we take too much junk in the -after all- man made environment around us for granted.<\/p>\n

Boarding passes right now have a format that looks like a computer punch card, which came into being in that size since dollar bills in the days of Mr. Hollerith where that big.
\nSo your boarding pass does not fit anywhere because people used to pay with paper money of that size more than 120 years ago …<\/p>\n

While we are at it: The airlines could get an image from me, since I am frequent flier. Then they could super impose it over a QR Code and add a check sum.<\/p>\n

An optical scan would reveal instantly if that boarding pass would actually BE for me. Quick: Go and patent that. It might be worth your time. I am busy with other
\nstuff and would just be happy to see better boarding passes. Among a couple of other things.<\/p>\n
