Delta's Paperless Check-In

At last, an airline has introduced technology with the potential of making life more convenient for the business traveler. Delta Airlines recently launched a test of paperless mobile check-in at New York’s LaGuardia airport. Travelers who download their boarding passes to a handheld mobile device at Delta.com can proceed directly to security, with no need to print a paper copy.

I am all for the convenience of being able to check-in for my flight from anywhere (and at the last minute), as well as reducing my carbon footprint, so I’m excited for the potential of this program. My only fear is of hearing the dreaded beeping sound of my PDA running out of juice as I stand in the security line!
