Are airline staff told to let you scan your boarding pass if it is on mobile?
Several times I have been on a flight with my parents. I use a mobile boarding pass while my parents use a paper one.
At the boarding gate, they take my parents' paper pass and scan it. But for me they ask me to scan my boarding pass.
My question:
Are airline crew instructed to ask the passenger to scan his boarding pass if displayed on a mobile device?
I have a feeling this is true as if the person drops the phone the company don't want to be liable for cracked phones.
