Airlines expand admittance to mobile boarding passes

Paper boarding passes could become an scarce species as more airlines offer boarding passes via mobile devices, which allow you to download a bar code to your Web-enabled phone or other device in place of printing a piece of paper.

United Airlines began offering the service last week in 13 airports. The airline expects to expand the service to 30 other airports by summer, according to a spokeswoman.

"It gives customers added convenience," said Sarah Massier, a United spokeswoman.
American Airlines last week added 19 new airports to the eight where it already had offered the service.
