The digital travel age advances: A new paperless boarding process allows you to download your boarding pass to your cell phone or PDA. Then, at security, Transportation Security Administration officials scan the bar code from your phone. And you're done. No fuss, no muss, no paper. 
Here's the fun part: It's ONLY for domestic passengers TRAVELING SOLO! How often does that happen? An advantage for solo travelers?
Although I don't really understand that. Why couldn't a husband and wife each do it on their own with their own phones? Anyway…
According to a blog entry by Fox News, five airlines are using paperless boarding at 14 airports. And it sounds like more will get on board soon.
Consider it a holiday gift, solo travelers. Happy Thanksgiving to all, and safe travels everyone.
