Mobile Behavior: an Omnicom Group Company

While the airline industry isn't at the highest moment of its history, it continues to innovate in the space that defines it: mobility. We've covered networked airplanes and Lufthansa's MySkyStatus, now American Airlines has plans to adopt paperless boarding technology in the Dallas/Fort Worth airport. Upon buying a ticket online, the system sends an e-mail to a user's smartphone containing an encrypted barcode to be scanned at flight check-in. According to Star-Telegram about 100,000 people a month already use paperless boarding. We can't help but hope that Foursquare's API be implemented like it has been with London's Oyster card.
