What is a boarding pass
After all, what is a boarding pass? This document includes all your trip details, such as your name, departure and arrival destination, boarding time and date, airline name, travel class, and other information.
The boarding pass is essential to travel, since, with it, it is possible to access restricted areas of the airport, such as the place of entry of the terminals and the place of immigration, in the case of international trips, in addition to the flight itself.

boarding pass is the most traditional way to obtain the document. To do this, simply go to one of the airline's self-service terminals and request the printout.
