Delta Paperless Check-in

In the month of January I was very happy to see that Orlando was added to the list of airports that allowed Delta's paperless check-in. Coupled with some changes to Delta's technology, so that you now receive a link to a web-site that can be bookmarked, it seemed a good thing to go paperless. As I am traveling to and from Chicago, where both airports also participate in this program, for three weeks I was able to do paperless round-trips. Just in case though, for those three weeks I did print a backup copy of the boarding pass. In the fourth week I thought, this is going so well, last time for the backup print. But when I arrived at the TSA ID check in Orlando, I was glad that I had my paper backup. For some reason TSA had decided that they would no longer use the barcode readers needed for the paperless boarding passes. And since the paperless TSA check at Midway is also quirky, I have gone back to the old fashioned paper boarding pass
