With both Qantas and Virgin Australia now supporting Apple's Passbook app for mobile boarding passes, we were intrigued to hear of an app which makes these digital tickets work on Android.
PassWallet is reportedly fully compatible with Apple's Passbook system.
Once you've completed mobile checkin on your Android phone for a domestic flight with Qantas, Virgin Australia or any other airline which has embraced Passbook – a growing list that includes American Airlines and United – the PassWallet app should step in to save the Passbook mobile boarding pass.
The app can also send boarding passes to a DropBox account so they can be used on different devices – for example, if you checked in using an Android tablet but at the airport prefer to rely on your Android smartphone.
PassWallet is available on Google Play store as a free edition with advertisements, or an ad-free version of a mere US$1.29.
We'd love to hear from any Android-toting Aussie readers who can advise how well PassWallet works with Qantas or Virgin Australia flights.
