ELI5 Why don’t some airlines allow you to have electronic boarding passes? When I take some shorter haul flights (for example, today, Queenstown - Brisbane) I’m given a paper boarding pass at check in but regardless of my other flights in my itinerary, I can’t get electronic boarding passes. However, in return when I fly from Manchester - Doha (eventually back to Queenstown), I’m allowed to check in online and get electronic boarding passes. Is this a technical limitation depending on the airport, or an airline policy? And would there be a reason I haven’t thought of why a paper boarding pass can’t have a QR code on it for me to scan to get a link for en electronic boarding pass?
