Delta will begin a paperless boarding pass pilot tomorrow 6/17 (with a media event), Diamond Self Select Queuing Lanes on Saturday 6/21 with a media event on the 25th and Clear Registered Traveler on 7/8.
The paperless boarding pass will allow passengers with web enabled cell phones to bring up an electronic boarding pass with an Aztec 2D bar code. The passenger can bypass the ticket counter and kiosks and go straight to the checkpoint queue. They will then show their ID at the Ticket Document Checker and scan their phone. Then at the gate they will scan again and on the plane they go.
The Diamond Self Select Lanes is a TSA initiative where the checkpoint queues are reconfigured to ease the burden of going through the checkpoint. Lanes such as Expert, Casual and Family allow passengers to pick the lane they need. Experts get to go through easier and faster since they don't get stuck behind less experienced passengers. Casual and Family lanes give the passengers the extra assistance they may need. Also customer service representative will be on hand aid with questions and divesting.
Clear Registered traveler will be added to the checkpoint queue. Persons who have signed up for any of the registered traveler programs can use the clear lane by producing their card and will be assisted through the checkpoint.
