Air Canada has quietly added Passbook support for boarding passes. Passbook is Apple s new ticket repository that debuted with iOS 6. Essentially it stores all your coupons , gift cards , passes , movie tickets and anything else that has a barcode.
According to iPhoneinCanada reader @aaron604, existing customers that purchase airline tickets are sent unique URLs via text message. Upon visiting these URLs, you re directed to a page where a Passbook version of your boarding pass appears on the screen with the option to add it. Once added, the ticket sits within Passbook and is ready to be used. Aaron did note he did not get a boarding italy travel guides pass notification when he got to the airport.
We tested the unique URL Aaron was sent from Air Canada and we were able to add the ticket into Passbook ourselves. Below on the left is what Air Canada users can use as part of a web check-in for boarding passes compare that to the lovely Passbook image on the right:
Here s how the Air Canada board pass looks within Passbook (you can see my Starbucks italy travel guides Card at the bottom too). If you click on the more info icon, it reveals your booking reference number and e-ticket number.
Customers italy travel guides who check-in on  mobile.aircanada.com ,  aircanada.com  or at and  airport kiosk  and access their Electronic Boarding Pass with a supported device (iPhone or iPod touch on iOS 6) will receive the Passbook version of the Electronic Boarding Pass. The Passbook version works just like our existing Electronic Boarding Pass and will allow customers to identify themselves at airport kiosks, check-in italy travel guides counters, enable them to pass through security and board their flights.
Air Canada is among the first airlines to support Passbook. Air Canada s integration with Passbook will further simplify the customer s travel experience and maintain Air Canada s position as a top innovator in the Airline industry.
Air Canada noted they have submitted a new version of their app to the App Store for approval to allow for boarding italy travel guides passes to be downloaded from within right to Passbook. Another italy travel guides update is coming to in a few weeks to add Lock screen support (which we noted was absent) based on relevant time settings, with further Passbook enhancements coming in 2013.
