It works when the airline provides the right format of electronic boarding pass, and even on Android there are plenty of apps that can handle Apple Wallet formatted passes. Sometimes it's a massive-rear end pain to get that format though, or outright impossible to do it. Air Europa was a loving pain in the rear end to do it with, let me tell you! I think I finally got it working, but I had to tether my iPhone to my Android's cellular data (since I didn't have a local SIM for the iPhone), then download the Air Europa app on my iPhone, get the Apple Wallet boarding pass through the buggy app, and then share it via e-mail so I could download it on my Android phone, which would then display it via a 3rd-party app.

If you need me I'll be in Holodeck Four.
A yellow Twin Otter flew over the yard today at a few hundred feet, it was flying a mow the lawn sort of pattern. I'd never seen one in the area before. It looks like it was bombing the area with rabies vaccine.

Twin Otters are as cool as rabies is horrible. I had to get two big rear end needles in the rear end and one a week for a month in the arm because of potential exposure.

All because my wife and I played with puppies at a flea market.

I'm just glad I didn't need to take the needles in the abdomen like you did back in the day.

I had a picture of that from taxing out to the runway yesterday afternoon. It didn't turn out :( so instead have a picture of downtown.

Had about 45 minutes to kill until boarding so took the terminal train and ducked over to the Delta lounge in S terminal in SEA

The macaroni and cheese and thai curry soup was absolute tits.

Sweet pictures, but... isn't that a TBF/TBM? Or is it some kind of Yakovlev made up to look like one? I don't get the label.

Speaking of baggage handling, are there any airlines that offer free checked luggage but charge for bin space? I think that would work so much better, since boarding and de-boarding would take a fraction of the time if people didn't attempt to take their entire collection of worldly possessions with them as cabin baggage. I'm guessing fewer than one in ten of those loving roller bags actually fit in the sizing device properly, either.
How do you propose to implement this without massively complicating boarding?

Remove the overhead bins entirely. Put an extra peg under the seats to prevent anything but small carry on's from fitting. Airline basks in boarding and deplaneing that takes a fraction of the time we are used to. Also the cabin will look infinitely better.

How do they tag hand baggage with "cabin baggage allowed" tags prior to the flight? It would be exactly like that, except these are ones that you pay for at check-in instead. How would this be even slightly difficult? It's easier than everyone trying to bring a "slightly" oversized roller-bag and dealing with the resulting Tetris. People would spend less time standing in the aisle, boarding times could easily be cut in half I imagine.

Guys, what if we used the area near the top as storage space? Maybe we could make this accessible from the inside, let the passengers use it, then charge Kafkaesque fees for checked bags and sell the space in the hold to cargo carriers.
