Although, I still don't see how that will save the airlines money. Some airlines let you print your tickets off their website that has the bar code on it. This would seem to accomplish the same thing as using a cell phone, maybe save some trees.

If it's the cost of the bar code scanner vs magnetic strip scanner, why not just print the bar code on the ticket?]]>Oct 16th 2007 5:17PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/16/airlines-announce-bar-code-standard-for-cellphone-check-ins/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/16/airlines-announce-bar-code-standard-for-cellphone-check-ins/
Plus, most people keep their cell phone on them at all times. A text message might be harder to misplace than a printed e-ticket, saving time and back-end resources from the airline's point of view.

I travel enough to welcome any technology that makes flying easier, and this sounds like it has potential.]]>Oct 16th 2007 7:09PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/16/airlines-announce-bar-code-standard-for-cellphone-check-ins/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/16/airlines-announce-bar-code-standard-for-cellphone-check-ins/Oct 16th 2007 11:09PM
