MUMBAI: Vistara passengers flying out of Mumbai airport do not need to stand in queue for physical boarding passes, as the airline today announced the launch of mobile phone boarding pass facility for Vistara's customers travelling out of Mumbai's T2 terminal.

A release from the airline calls it a first-of-its-kind initiative at Mumbai Airport and terms it a time-saver for passengers and result in reduction in usage of paper boarding passes.

"Fliers making use of this facility for their travel from Mumbai T2 will only need to choose 'Get Mobile boarding pass/ Collect by SMS' option when checking-in online or on our mobile app. The SMS from Vistara will contain the booking details and the link to access the mobile boarding pass. Customers are encouraged to take a screenshot of the mobile boarding pass, which is readable by the technologically advanced machines installed in Mumbai T2's domestic departure level. Paper boarding passes are not required but customers would need to carry authorised photo ID as proof of identity," the release adds.
