Just experienced my first time scanning my boarding pass on a machine vs. giving my pass to a flight attendant to board. Anyone else gone through this? Flying United.

They do it in Europe a lot. I took an AMS-LUX flight back in March. The machines work like the automated Schneigen Area Visa machines (I guess not a relevant example if you don't go to Europe often).

You scan the boarding pass, and gate lets people in one at a time. Gate agents watch, but I believe it reduces the headcount needed.

So.....no human presence at the gate? Set up like a turn-style?

Help!! My bestfriend is doing two months abroad and was trying to fly into turkey when they told her she couldn't because her passport expired within three months.

She went to the US Embassay in Athens knowing she had a month left of traveling, and gave her an emergency passport and punched holes in her exsisting one. Now no country will let her in with her emergency passport.

Can her mom get her a passport in the US and ship it to her? Is there anyway around this?

Thank you!!

A quick note about what I’ve experienced, in my decade long career, is the real advantage of MBB or FAANG - it gives you a shot at stretch roles that are outside your expertise. Not all the time or even most of the time compared to better candidates with specific experience for the role but gives you this wildcard shot at a vast array of opportunities.
