Joining Continental Airlines and Northwest Airlines, Delta has become the latest to announce plans to begin accepting a cell phone or PDA as a boarding pass. This new boarding pass policy is currently only available for passengers at LaGuardia International Airport in New York.

In addition this option is currently only available for those who are domestic passengers, and once at the airport they can check their bags at the curbside check-in and skip the regular check-in and proceed directly to the screening area. Once at the screening area, the TSA representative will scan the electronic pass and check your ID. Travelers using this method will also be asked to show the phone with the electronic pass at the gate just prior to boarding.
