StB <strong>Bar</strong> <strong>Coded</strong> <strong>Boarding</strong> Pass <strong>Implementation</strong> Guide<br />

Once the passenger is checked-in, it is recommended to send a confirmation by email, including<br />

the next steps, e.g. where to go, what to do with luggage, what if the printer did not work (see<br />

example in fig. 33).<br />

5.5. Mobile <strong>BCBP</strong><br />

Web and mobile check-in offer passengers the option to receive a 2D bar code on their mobile<br />

phone, i.e. get a mobile <strong>BCBP</strong> (see fig. 34). The concept is similar to paper <strong>BCBP</strong>, a bar code<br />

being displayed on the screen of the mobile phone instead of being printed on paper. Several<br />

carriers have already implemented Mobile <strong>BCBP</strong>.<br />
